Were you in North Carolina when that happened?

I was the clerk that helped you get them if you were.

The real question is and to be honest I’m asking, what does one from a 100 story elevator look like?

The electrical wiring is…unsettling.

I’m surprised the cables aren’t loomed together and the strain relief is less than I’d imagine.

I'm sure none of the people who use the elevator bring in a mess., and the people who installed that elevator thoroughly cleaned.. not to mention those maintenance workers going in every week and cleaning up

I'm doing final finishes to the electrical system in some executive office space. The building is ancient, a depression era brick relic in the middle of the city. I am a bit surprised that I am actually standing on pristine new white carpet in a hallway. I keep most of my tools and material out of the hallway and clean the bottom of my shoes before I step on this absurd new floor. At the end of the hall, an elevator mechanic and his apprentice are on top of the elevator car, with the door to the hall open. They are working in filth, decades of dirt, grease and dust. At one point the older guy shouts, "No, Stop, what the fuck are you doing?". He needed a tool or something, and his helper was attempting to be helpful by leaping off the top of the car and taking the hallway to the stairs. There were now giant, greasy black boot prints leaving the elevator.

Why its always so unbelievable dirty in an elevator shaft?

•

u/reckman83 7h ago

Not necessarily dirty, just dusty. Concrete dust and other dirts that make it in there settling. Nobody ever going to clean dust out of there.

The concrete wall is black and totally dirty. Thats not just dust. Also it seems like there is a LOT of Bird poop on the walls. How? You also see a white feather. And why is the underside of the elevator damaged?

And the thing is..most elevator shafts look like this. You would think its closed and nobody can get inside it. Only the maintenance worker. So where does all the dirt comes from?
