riptides,
I work for a college here in south TEXAS in the telecomm department.
I get back to work after a week off vacationing last week (working for free, f/ myself), and my first gig, check out why the phones aren't working at this leased building. This area is a whole two block area that in the past we leased about 50-60 offices for various departments and several classrooms were temporarily there. Since September '04, the occupancy has been whittled down from about 200 telephone lines, 4 T1's to one dep'ts offices and ten telephone lines & 1 T1.
Area where the demarcation point (the hand-off of services from the phone co.) is about 1000' from the offices where the problem is, and needless to say was vacated about 8 months ago.
So, I get to this demarc area, open the door, there's a wall of humidity that hits me, and instantly I'm drenched and dripping. The thermometer on the thermostat says 92 and I tend to believe it. I snake my way through the offices and end up in inch deep wet carpet sloshing through as I get to my cables. There's this old restroom that had been renovated into a storage area, and right there under where the sink would normally be there's this drip on the shutoff under the sink - about two to three drops a second dripping for several months.
That and no ventilation, it was very tropical jungle-ish.
Made me want one of these:
