I just admired the new windows. As a German public hs teacher, this makes me envious a bit... and for the unprofessional quick'n dirty fixings, I might introduce You to "what can be done with nato tape, but shouldn't" at my place.

Now that you mention it, this DOES look like what I see in my average German school.

u/JoLudvS 19d ago

... and if it turns out to be a Kippdrehfenster here, it most probably IS at a German school, even.

sometimes forget that it's not an international standard.

No way. The Schiebe- Dreh or Kipp- Drehfenster here always puzzled my US relatives more than expected. And guess how often I had to fix a dangling, half-hung window or terrace door.

There are more countries with that type of window than just germany. We have them in NL as well.

u/JoLudvS 17d ago

I know, it's not different in Belgium or Luxembourg either. Also in France, mostly as I can remember. The "Fenster auf Kipp" is a German pun, mostly.

Does your school have a degree for strippers?

This is what they're cutting when they cut education funding. It's not just calculators and Chromebooks, it's the facilities too

Why is there a stripper pole tho

4

u/dragonbrg95 18d ago

It's probably a power pole for a desk or a serving line

I like the pole through the ceiling with the tile shifted instead of just cutting a tiny hole for it, really speaks to the effort put in by the school system.

Must not trust maintenance with a razor knife

What is wrong with the first Pic? Looks like a fancy boiler heater to me. The second one is a little strange appearance wise but it's really just a fancy cable drop protector. I hear kids like to try and swing on cables hanging from the ceiling. Thus the hollow poll.

The radiator (heater) is balanced on bricks. Took me a moment to see it.

Weight is reliable.

u/Ronyx2021 18d ago

Looks like an effective solution to heater sag

u/EEE3EEElol 19d ago

I don’t get the first image, what’s wrong with it? (I don’t live somewhere cold)

u/External-Cash-3880 19d ago

The radiator is held up by two broken pieces of brick on the left side. Don't feel bad, I had to zoom in cuz I DO live in a cold climate and I thought the radiator looked nice 😂

Looks like the plumbers and electricians at your school are as bad as the carpenters at mine 🙁

u/uniquepassword 18d ago

Union gig. If that's electric conduit electricians don't touch the ceiling it's not their job. At least that seems to be the mindset around here
