My drywall and I need this app. |
|
|
After reading the summary I couldn't wait to find out what a snog was and why I might want to hit one. |
|
|
I know what a 'snog' is; had a bit of one with T.G.F.J.
before she went off to work this morning. As for a 'nog', I
just assumed it was a Britishism for 'stud' (the kind found
inside the wall). |
|
|
hmmm, nuthin freudian goin on with that mistype there at all... |
|
|
It seems that 'nog' is what New Zealanders call 'nogging'. ('Blocking' in America). |
|
|
Not that 'blocking' is in any way an ambiguous term... |
|
|
But surely this can only be applied to <shudders>
buildings constructed since the advent of electronic
cameras? |
|
|
Shirley, this was made clear in the first line of the
description. It strikes [The Alterother] as obvious that mid-
construction images must be captured with the so-enabled
device (or another compatible device with the same app). |
|
|
Yes, how does one "open" a six foot thick masonry wall, or a parquet floor? |
|
|
//Not that 'blocking' is in any way an ambiguous term...// In the context of timber framing, it refers to the short pieces of wood (usually) at right angles to the long, main members; in that context, it's not ambiguous, much as the meaning of 'tack' is less ambiguous when the context is understood to be welding. |
|
|
They're especially difficult to find, because their spacing is less predictable and they are usually not betrayed by fasteners. I assume that's why they're the focus of this idea. |
|
|
// Yes, how does one "open" a ... wall ... or ... floor? // |
|
|
see link if that helps with Nog, although it probably doesn't |
|
|
Genius. There could be some CAD app that reads the architectural plans as well. Not that buildings ever deviate from the blueprints... nah, that never happens... |
|
|
[+] this is so practical...I can't believe it's not used already!!
I mean they should take the photo *before* they put the walls up! |
|
|
it really, really needs to be baked. |
|
|
Definitely possible to do this after the fact with high
precision sonar (or, you know x-ray). The equipment
to do it would be fairly expensive, but I can picture
it as a service. Purchase of the app includes the
scanning. |
