Well I made out on the job. The supply house quoted me the wrong price on the stalls, so I ended up charging over 2k too much for them all. I was going to correct my pricing till he pulled that on me. So in all reality I came out 300 bucks ahead in the game.

short pattern double sanitary tees on waste lines. I hate them, when you go to rod out and your snake just keeps going from one side to the other instead of down the pipes. double y's are better but have had a few problems with them too.

You just had 15 minutes to do whatever on your time. You pee on your time , not mine. Sounds a little harsh but, I get sooo tired of babysitting grown men. Then I'm the A$$hole.

No offence to you smokers out there ( I used to be one for 15 years, quit for 4 years now) I hate the guys who need a smoke break every hour. The avg. break seems to take 10 mins and in a 9 hour day that is 90 mins in breaks plus lunch and coffee breaks. I cant stand working with guys like that. I actually take no breaks and prefer to finish early. I get flack from the other guys because I want to finish by 430pm, but hey I have been working solid all day.

I smoke but I don't take smoke breaks. If I am on a job where I can't smoke then I will go as long as the job takes. So many factories don't even let you smoke on thier property anymore. But if we need a fitting at the supply house I am always the first to volunteer

. I light up as soon as I can and keep it lit as long as I am on the road.

Mine is the idiot that sold some engineer on 4-band Husky couplings and not telling the foundry about it and having them remove the coupling stop dimple and having me grind them off along with all the other imperfections.

I know union plumbers love cast iron, I used to be union and know their mindset to a tee, cast iron may have its place in multi story applications for noise and all but it is still junk and can not compare to ABS or PVC.
