Competition will cause this. I hate it didn't work out. Good luck to him in his future endeavors.

Not surprised. Sucks because I was hoping he might jump in and pick up where Brew left off. Hope he gets his chance for the pros. I'm disappointed, but now look to Evans.

I'm not familiar enough with Virginia and specifically Blacksburg fire code for high occupancy building. But there would have to be some kind of large opening there for the standpipe since it's turned to the side like that and I don't would want the connection sticking out into the walkway where someone coming around the corner would walk into it.

Maybe, but they did have a Twitter poll a few weeks back on what the # should be. Something to that effect was one of the choices.

I checked it out and it looks like this person was a big proponent for the "Stick It In" chant and the alter ego ghost of Michael Vick (none of which I support). You're comparing me to him/her?

So Amway โ‰  Quixtar? I remember having Amway stuff around the house when I was little ('80s); guys on the ship in '00s selling Quixtar told me it was the same company.

In your opinion, was there anything they could do to make it look better? I mean, that just sticks out like a ridiculous sore thumb, as they just removed the hose, and let that be that (maybe they're going to put in a new one shortly?). If the goal was to remove the hose, could they have just filled in everything, keeping the pipe exposed, and then had the Fire Extinguisher in its own encasement, or would that violate code?

Fire codes no longer require them and as a firefighter I'd prefer for there not to be one already preconnected to the standpipe. People don't inspect or test them.
