I think they wanted $20 for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plumber2 Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 It was still there last time I was in the area. It was being used as a printing facility and additional office space by the Chronicle.Not too long after the Houston Post occuppied this building there was a massive leak in the acid tanks. The leak filled the basement with several inches of acid, ruining everything that was on the floor. The first people who responded thought the leakwas several feet deep because the acid had eaten the legs off of the metal furniture. Nobody wanted to step into this stuff either.A plumber decided to turn on several water hoses and dilute the acid until it was safe to enter. This was way before EPA, OSHA and all the other regulators we now have would have had to been contacted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not for this forum doug is not a moderator or administrator with HAIF. I do wonder what's up with all of his photo requests, though. He asks for photos, but when you ask him what they're for he never answers.
