So there is a use for trigonometry! Interesting that it appeared prior to framing, electrical and plumbing rough-in though. Were the demo contractors calculating radii of ogee while making slab penetrations?
Generally the walls are used for this purpose. Ball busting and the related fall out. My guess is this was directed at a short carpenter? Just a shot in the dark.
"If you see Charlie I'm on AH? Any Floor." A close-up and a full size of the same piece. The second piece of Construction Graffiti which really caught my eye. I love the detail in the pirate ship, as well as the periscope on the submarine which is in the full sized version- I'm really hoping that the periscope is a Union Scab reference. This definitely took the large part of a Sharpie to complete and substantially more than a coffee break. Nice work fellas.
This HVAC header appeared on the site about six months ago without the union made certification sticker on it. It hasn't moved to this day. This is one of my favourite examples of how Construction Graffiti inspires camaraderie.
These weren't necessarily the first two photos of Construction Graffiti that I took, but certainly the ones which inspired me to start this blog. The unfinished (or sometimes finished) wall allows anyone with any sort of writing instrument to express anger, frustration, camaraderie, happiness, or creativity that they aren't necessarily able to any other way on site. Construction Graffiti always is painted over, thrown away, or sheetrocked over, but will always remain a part of the construction process, and ultimately will always be a part of the building. Please enjoy these photos and help me supplement my collection with those of your own by emailing me at constructiongraffiti@gmail.com. Let me know what building it was taken in and whom should be credited. Thanks!
