stuff under the floor:
wildlife: common in TX, fireants/bees/arachnids in the vaults
cruft: the nite-shift dirty laundry (clothes & other stuff)
and my personal fave: worked in a shop w/ MGs and a flywheel/genset -in
the machine room-. One of the power leads was not properly mounted
and had to be repaired. The electrician did -not- remove all his
rings (guess he was still junior) and was knocked out - called the
EMTs and he was transported & revivied. we found his finger (desicated)
w/ the ring a year later when we pulled out the 3033's.
not exactly under the floor:
The most excitment was the bearings on the flywheel seizing up and
the flywheel tearing loose, punching a hole in the wall and into
the adjacent clean room.
ah... the bad ol'days. :)
