Who would have thought that when a clamp actually clamps onto something, it works better!

Imagine a hvac guy using a gallo gun up in the attic if this stayed the original way and he didn't check it first. :eek: :vs_laugh:

Top pic, 3rd, and last pic are the same sink so I assume the same "plumber". Nice tool selection for the job, especially the square and the McDonalds brand pliers and screwdriver combo set.

That whole setup with the odd crappy drain body and white flex drain looks like some IKEA crap.

Ps. I always have the same sh!t eating grin when I'm working in a cabinet.

I really wonder about two of our guys and what goes through their minds while working. Don't know why they still work here. Hey, keeps me busy and paid. Don't know why pic #2 is upside down.

Lot of stress on the 3" vent and some stupid stuff with the pex that I fixed. Sucks that I'm the only person in the company to care about my work.

I know i like hearing the crunch of dirt when stepping into my tub. I ended up redoing the valve (unlevel, janky in the wall and the spout stub out soldered in crooked), redo the drain to give it proper fall, and the stringer once i swept all dirt out from the area and releveled the tub.

Sounds like some awesome neighbors. I remember neighbors like that when I was 10. My friends and I would hang out at my neighbors house and help work on his old Nova he was building to race. My mom and the guys wife would chat and whatnot in the kitchen. I would usually end up mowing their lawn just because it was fairly small, partially shared with our lawn, and no obstacles to deal with.

Wow! I couldn’t work with people who do that kind of work! Im not saying my work is perfect, but damn!
Oh believe that it pisses me off. I usually don't work with them. They are usually with the boss, which is another issue with me but I will bite my tongue on that. I'm always going back and fixing their mistakes while trying to get my original task done.

When they are on the same job as me, I'm constantly having to keep an eye on them and catching mistakes and almost mistakes. One particular genius likes to forget the direction of flow and will "glue"(i'm not typing solvent weld every time lol) fittings in the wrong way, sometimes it's drainage and sometimes it's venting. Sucks when it's a middle fitting on the main line during a rough-in and nobody catches it until the pvc is done and being filled for test.

I have sooo many more pics of their crap I haven't posted because it takes too long to resize them. A lot of them the site can't resize on it's own.

I promise I started out nice when telling them about their mistakes, but now I'm an azzhole.
