By John Faccin on Sunday, August 29, 2010 - 11:21 pm:Adrian,
Cool picture.
By David ONeal on Monday, August 30, 2010 - 12:23 pm:Look at all the pools of oil left behind...
Model T's are leakers.

By Ivan Warrington on Monday, August 30, 2010 - 01:26 pm:That is a well built building. Look at the rafters and the way they are braced. I'll bet that it is still standing if not demolished .
By Dennis Seth on Monday, August 30, 2010 - 04:58 pm:That bracing between the joists is called bridging. It should be installed in all buildings if the contractor follows proper codes.
Adrian,
where is this photo taken?
By Adrian Whiteman on Monday, August 30, 2010 - 05:24 pm:Hi Dennis, I usually note the source, but I do not recall where this picture came from, other than that is is in the US 'somewhere'. I also do not have a higher res copy, so can't read the notes on the bottom left or the sign on the truck.
I would be happy to learn more about it though,
Cheers
Adrian
By Hal Davis on Monday, August 30, 2010 - 09:16 pm:What are the two words preceeding 'Insurance'? I can't seem to make them out.
By Steve Jelf on Monday, August 30, 2010 - 10:23 pm:Hal, I blew it up as much as I could, but still couldn't make it out.
By Hal Davis on Tuesday, August 31, 2010 - 12:17 pm:Me too. The 'fuzziness' just blew up with it. ;-)
By Robert Conner on Tuesday, August 31, 2010 - 12:33 pm:I'm tempted to say it reads "Without Insurance." I'll have to see if I can clean it up any.
By Keith Gumbinger, Kenosha, WI on Tuesday, August 31, 2010 - 12:57 pm:It looks like "No Owner Insurance" to me.

By John Berch on Tuesday, August 31, 2010 - 01:27 pm:Looks like "No More Insurance" to me.
By Howard Tobias on Tuesday, August 31, 2010 - 02:57 pm:The building looks like it might have a flat roof built for a very snowy climate.
In my area we had several flat roof collapses this past winter due to the unusually heavy snowfall.(Western PA)
By Howard Tobias on Tuesday, August 31, 2010 - 03:01 pm:Extra thought- I'll bet those are real 2x12 rafters.
By Fred Dimock on Tuesday, August 31, 2010 - 03:47 pm:Roof or second floor above?
Look at those cross beams and suport piers.
Blocking may indicate it is a floor
By Tony Bowker on Wednesday, September 01, 2010 - 12:17 am:I agree that the blocking indicates there is a floor above this space.
By Kevin Fielding on Wednesday, September 01, 2010 - 10:22 am:Just a thought but my feable eyes see the words,
"ask about Insurance" at the bottom of the sign.
Looks to me that there are only two words before insurance, the first word is clearly shorter and look to have the right number of letters for "ask about",
Although I have been known to be wrong, more than once!!!!!

By Roger Karlsson on Wednesday, September 01, 2010 - 10:46 am:Kevin - I think you have won
By Adrian Whiteman on Wednesday, September 01, 2010 - 11:53 pm:Kevin that makes sense. An entrepreneur would raise a need (the risk) and then offer a solution (ask about). Selling a policy on commission would add a bit to the income stream
Cheers
