I always get a kick, pun intended, out of drywall. People get locked in rooms and dont even know you can almost always just kick into the next room. with the build quality these says you can kick your way to the outside if you want. People spend crazy amounts of money on security, systems, armored

When I read “tunneling through stores” I pictured a big core drill through adjacent basements. Sawing through drywall partitions is a lot less dramatic, but geez, is that the only thing between stores? At our local mall there’s a maintenance corridor behind the stores with only a drywall p

We did service to a store in a strip mall once. The best line of sight was above another store, but when I got into the suspended ceiling, I discovered that the walls between stores did not go to the roof. You could run any wire from any store to any other store if you went above the suspended

100%. It would take a bit to kick your way through OSB sheathing….but I agree if you’re an able bodied adult that’s not really enough to keep you prisoner. And even with steel doors and such anybody with an angle grinder can get into anywhere they want. Similarly, I didn’t understand

Was the space above high enough to stand in? I don’t recall where I was, but I remember being above a ceiling somewhere and walking on top of the walls. I bet there are no cameras up there either. Sounds perfect, Bill. Count me in on the heist. From: AF On Behalf Of Bill Prince Sent

I rented a storage unit once, it had a drywall ceiling. I cut an access door and found that I then had access to all the other storage units. Best Regards, Chuck McCown McCown Technology Corporation 8401 N Commerce Dr Lake Point, Utah 84074 801-250-9503 Office 435-830-4306 Cell www.mccowntec

You can't really stand on a suspended ceiling. The heaviest thing up there were the 2x4 florescent light fixtures that rested between the T bars. They did have HVAC duct work, and phone lines and some electrical, but those things were not resting on the suspended ceiling T bars. bp On 8/8/20

Have you ever seen a movie?  Once you get into the drop ceiling, you can run and jump just like it's a floor.  They're also clean and well lit. On 8/8/2024 1:54 PM, Bill Prince wrote: You can't really stand on a suspended ceiling. The heaviest thing up there were the 2x4 florescent light fixt

I had assumed it was JFK at 43, and that is correct if you go by age when ELECTED president. But TR was 42 when he assumed the presidency upon McKinley’s assassination (he was vice president). I remember at the time it was a big deal that JFK was so young, and (gasp!) a Catholic. From: AF
