Who is getting the scrap from Building C? If you were listening to KDKA, the price of gold is the highest it has been in a long time. Remember the copper downspouts stolen in Virginia Manor? How about the garbage picker who takes every electrical appliance pitched just for the copper wire in the cord? Someone even took the old wire stands from my yard signs that were bundled for the trash.
When they start demo-ing Building C, unless the SB has it written that we have the rights to all that scrap, it will be taken by the contractors or the garbage picker. The contractors may be sitting there hoping it isn't noticed.
But since the School board refuses to revisit Building C, maybe it won't be addressed. Here's a heads up. In 35 years or so, when the renovated high school is torn down, the aluminum wire won't be worth as much as copper wire.
They do not use aluminum anymore. Thought you should know.
ReplyDeleteDo you mean that they changed their minds about using aluminum? I hope that is what you are saying, Anonymous.
ReplyDeleteI said "wire" because it was easier than saying aluminum windings on line 154, or aluminum bus in the switchboards and panel boards, lines 160 and 164.
ReplyDeleteI was referring to copper scrap vs. aluminum scrap when we tear down the renovation 35 years from now, when the next generation botches the renovation.
