I'm not sure what I enjoyed more, Leaky. Imagining what goes through dudes mind daily who grenaded his house and didn't die or the photos.
Very nice.

I'm glad that you liked it. I figured I'd try something different today. Maybe I'll do a series of this sort of thing 🤷♂️
Lol
I worked side by side with your trade for 22 years my man. You have my attention.
Yeah? What trade or industry were you in? If you don't mind sharing.
Journeyman Wireman for 22 years my friend.
Nice.
The sprinkler profession usually had the lowest say on a job once the installation took place and had to work around the other trades typically. We were like the youngest in a family of three brothers. Electrical and plumbing would be like
"I'll take the left side of the hallway and you take right and we're all good."
Then there's me in the corner of the room
"Hey what about me (sprinklers)!? I have a 3" pipe that needs to go along that hallway. Where am I supposed to go?"
Both roll their eyes 🙄 "argh fine! You can have middle, but don't take up too much space!"
Hahaha 😆 That was the nature of the job though.
I'm just being dramatic everyone always worked well together.
The fuck you are!! Dude you described all the fellas acting like a buncha girls so well I heard saws in the background.
My industry's biggest ally was always the iron heads and boiler makers were a really close second. Mainly cuz they fly things and we need things flown. You damn pipe fighters barely cling to a top 5 ally cuz you always want the middle!
🤣 I guess it was lucky for me that I was in the office most of the time on the computer, so I didn't have to deal with the install. But it was a pain in the ass to have to change layouts and redo hydraulic calculations after the coordination meetings.
Me before the coordination meeting:
Sigh "A true masterpiece. look at how straight and pretty all those lines are. Good thing too, I just barely made my hydraulic safety factor."
Then during the meeting the GM tells me that I have to get up and over the plumbing and around a massive hvac duct to get into the room and I'm thinking "mother Fucker, those six 90° elbows are going to fucking screw me for hydraulics."
Lol 😂
We're gonna need a lot more cutting oil, boss.
Lol, yeah 😅
