time to scrap the copper and not give anything to your employees 'horrible'

I got one... a good one... The helper that has to wash his hands every 5-10 minutes wether you're digging a ground-rough, doing service work, doing a top-out, or any other job for that matter, cuz he fears getting dirty. If you leave the shop clean and come back clean but you only wore 1 shirt you couldn't possibly have worked.

how about the customer that calls as if he is going to use your service then starts telling what he is trying so you can diagnose it over the phone. After you tell him it doesn't pay to put any money into an 18 year old water heater. 5 days later he is still calling me in a 24" snow storm to tell me he's ready

Isn't that where the risers should be for a grease trap?

I know, I'm going straight to hell.

I totally understand ya protech. I had a little weenie dog yesterday that the homeowner called "vicious". This dog had satan in it. The H.O. told me the dog wouldn't bite but I still insisted that they put the dog up. They did,nt. the rat sized dog grabbed on to my pants at the top of the stairs and I shook it off right down 20 or so steps. It went and hid under a bed. The H.O. asked me what I did to their dog and I told them I shook the little varmit off my leg right down the steps. I told them they should have put the dog away while I was there because I'm in 5-7 homes a day with all kinds of animal scents on me. That was SOOOOOO fun!!

Co workers that have to put on a tyvek suit everytime they rod a sewer or have to go into a manhole and they are no where near the sewer machine. also people that clean the outside of new copper fittings.
