The lowest bid

I guess this is what you get when you take the lowest bid. But then they call us wondering why they don't have good heat And the units are cold.
All they had to do was follow the manual, for some reason they decided to do it on their own no header whatsoever,no pigtails or trap for the controls, 500,000 btu with only one l.w.c.o. No double swing barometric damper or spill switch,looks like they grossly oversized the boiler and undersized the gas line feeding the burner. 8 inch nipple on Hartford loop and horrible venting off the back. I think I want to just walk out of this job.

There's really only one thing wrong with the install.....everything.
So did you guys bid the job and not get it, and now they want you to fix it? If so, put up the 'after' pics.
The vent looks like a giant silver shrimp.There was an error rendering this rich post.

They will probably expect to pay the difference between the knucklehead price, and the proper price.--NBC0
