It is actually a space between an outside wall and an inside wall on a building with a very funky roof line. I have no idea what is above it. This building (circa 1925) has a lot of small, hidden spaces. I have no idea if we can find them all and get a sprinkler into them. Unfortunately, the GC can at best be described as hostile and there is no help or support from them. (they were going to file for delay charges 2 days after awarding the contract because we weren't installing pipe.)
