Bullseye, in the V-ring.
I lived in the City of Downey and worked for the school district for almost 40 years.
As far as you engineers are concerned, you all did a pretty good job and delivered some pretty good plans and specs.
You just forgot that when you design and specify for a school district it needs to be tougher than a state penitentiary.
If you gave 70% of the students an anvil for a present Christmas morning, they will have it torn up by lunch time.
Downey?! Wow! Small world. I lived in Downey until 2015 and had a hand in several of their school modernization projects. Love that city and still go there weekly for fellowship meetings. Too bad I lost the house in the divorce. ;-)
As far as engineering and design of the schools, we don’t make them like we used to. Schools that were built out here in the 1920’s and 1930’s are still standing and in use and were completed on time and within budget at a fraction of the cost compared to today. But that’s an entirely different matter.
