    Piping & Wiring Nightmare

    These boilers were located in the basement of a 10,000 square foot house.  We offered pricing on cleaning up the piping and replacing the boilers.  Alll were declined.

    Sounds familiar...

    There is NOTHING wrong with our heating system. It puts out heat.... Most of the time....

    Sad but true.

    It's not so much a case of "You got what you paid for", as it is a matter of "You DIDN'T get what you DIDN'T pay for, and you're NOT going to get what you thought you were in the way of comfort". Borrowed from Heatboy.

    Budgetary constraints

    All the money got allocated for the golden chandeliers, custom bookcases in the new library, new 500SL (his and hers of course) and the new kitchen with European design. Sorry, you got edged out.

    Making it right is what gets it done

    Long as these guys keep working I keep busy. Not everyone believes in living with bad work. Many people actually value and understand good workmanship. But you keep that positive attitude. Its got me this far.

    I see someone went with the old adage, Not working... Put a tiger loop on it.

    Matt I like your profile pic. What do you hit your black pipe with? Glossy black spray paint? Or is that some other kind of coating?
