do your thing, darwin

To their kid? ^ although the chance of that kid being a productive member of society with that parenting is dubious at best

nature can be cruel

What's holding up the water by the door?

6/20/2017 7:31:19 PM

looks like a patio chair propping up the plastic

6/20/2017 7:34:21 PM

in poooools of maroon blooood!

6/20/2017 7:38:33 PM

I think you mean

would love to see this built!

I thought this thread was about:

this kid is an engineering pioneer.

1 gallon of water = 8 pounds.

Terrace looks about 4ft x 10ft x 4ft.

The volume would be about 160 cubic feet.

It takes about 7.48 gallons to fill a cubic foot. 160 x 7.48 = 1197 gallons (rounded up).

Looks to be about half filled, so lets say about 598 gallons of water.

598 gallons x 8 pounds per gallon is 4787 pounds...well over 2 tons.

Balconies are generally required to support 100 lbs per square foot, that balcony is about 40 sq ft

100 lbs x 40 sq ft = 4000 lbs

Id say that "make your own pool" is exceeding the static load capacity of the balcony...prob not safe


Would any engineers care to double check my numbers?

lol you only need basic arithmetic and knowledge of units to check/do that (and being able to eyeball linear dimensions), not any engineering anything.

[Edited on June 20, 2017 at 11:14 PM. Reason : and if you do it in metric, you don't need all those conversions either!]

6/20/2017 11:13:45 PM

i am aware of that, I was joking and being sarcastic because I suck at math.

6/20/2017 11:14:45 PM

haha cool

my estimate:

3m x 1m x 60cm = 1.8 cu m = 1,800 kg = 3,960 lbs

but i know nothing about how much balconies are engineered to hold.

[Edited on June 20, 2017 at 11:18 PM. Reason : see how easy metric is compared to customary/imperial???!!! ]

6/20/2017 11:17:24 PM

even if its concrete and rebar, it is prob pushing that limit

6/20/2017 11:23:45 PM

oh IDK, I can't understand anyone singing anything anywhere

6/21/2017 12:06:26 AM

^^ don't doubt you on that at all!

that's like having a large luxury sedan parked there!

6/21/2017 1:35:39 AM

the pool will takeoff

I'm guessing the kid didn't actually die or else we would've heard about it.

If a kid dies in Asia, does it make a sound?
