>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Crane and weathered, unusable rafters
>>>>>>>>>>>Ruined Rafters left out in the weather for months.>
Went out to the Dog Pound today, Scottsboro/ Jackson County Animal Control Shelter construction project. I had received a tip the rafters that were to be installed on the shelter had been allowed to sit out in the weather for several months and are ruined. A crane was on site to install the rafters. However, after installation, according to the report, the rafters had to be removed due to them being unsuitable for use. What other unsuitable materials have been used? Such a waste of materials, you will notice the many rafters ruined and wasted due to them being left out in the elements apparently for many months.

Apparently the job Foreman did not appreciate me taking pictures and attempted to run me off. I'd say he has something to hide. I requested that he not interfere with me taking pictures. Several inmates, 4-5, were sitting idle enjoying this cool summers day. One was working. I took the two quick photo's and left immediately. I'll be discussing this issue with city officials.

Update: The rafter waste will not be charged to the city. The city building inspectors caught the defective trusses and required them to be removed, per Mr. Curtis Davis, City Planner. What was the cost of this building? {$400K+) Thanks to our city inspectors this obvious shoddy construction was averted. No hurry to complete this job as it will allow more convicts to enjoy some time on the outside. How closely and to what frequency is this job site inspected?
