And coloring the pipes the wrong colors. 🤪

only works on the inside of the pipes... that way the water can see it and know if it is supposed to be hot or cold, or maybe even change to a gas like Propane or even Oxygen. At the hospital.

I learned that at a Dan Holohan seminar when he said the arrows needed to be on the inside.

I have seen a storeroom in a nursing home where the maint guy painted around the boxes sitting on the shelf. He didn't last long at that or any job.

Doing the boiler is fun..Trying to get the  convector covers off that have 3 coats of paint on them is THE WORST..."You're chipping the paint off my covers!!!!"  Everyone got a warning after that.....If they didn't like the answer, they would have to have them off before we got there.  Let THEM chip the paint.  Tuition! Ha ha 😂 Maf Dog 🐕 

Hopefully the Eds will be along shortly to ED-ucate us.

Not exactly on topic, But how many of us have that "not enough heat" call during our coldest and busiest day of the season, only to find the newly installed wall to wall carpet is blocking the bottom of the baseboard radiators. You are already tired and irritated from the overtime and now a customer is going to argue that "it can't be the carpet. It has been in there for almost a year now and they never has this problem before. You must be crazy. And by the way, we are not paying for the overtime service call because you didn't do anything!!!"

Second part of this post is kind'a funny. https://forum.heatinghelp.com/discussion/comment/1705970#Comment_1705970. Customer in Villas, NJ

I saw a painter spray PEX. That’s not good for PEX. 

I remember a painter who really liked using a sprayer, but he didn’t like to mask things. At a restaurant where I sometimes helped out, this guy sprayed the windows, light fixtures, stainless steel, and even coffee cups. I don’t think he was ever invited back to paint 😏

I remember pulling toilets sealed with "Bowl Setting Compound". It was like a linseed based plumbers putty.
