    some comments and maybe get it right.

    LOL! I stopped counting how many things were wrong after counting fingers on one hand.

    1. Colliding header (Main takeoff between risers).
    2. Equalizer not at the end of the header
    3. Bullhead tee on the mains (should be tied into header individually).
    4. Hartford loop appears to be a bit high, but that is hard to judge from a picture (I am looking at the LWCO for comparison).
    5. Mains are downsized
    6. And I am tired of typing....It just needs a complete re-pipe.
    How did they manage to make that riser connection on the side of the boiler back by the wall?! Why do people go to so much effort to do things wrong?
