Sometimes you really have to wonder... "WHAT WERE YOU THINKING!!!"

On a recent home inspection I came across a water heater stuffed into a closet. The instillation was obviously not an easy one.

So to get the water heater into the closet the plumber (I must assume since they signed the insulation wrap)  removed the outer jacket on the water heater leaving the elements and thermostat and associated wiring totally exposed.

Well we know they are plumbers and not electricians because this failed that section pretty well.

Then to top it off the reduced the diameter of the TPR valve discharge tube and routed it to the crawlspace, another non-no. I think this plumber needs a few more apprenticeship hours.

So here's to you, you proud plumber, who was proud enough to leave your company name written on the insulation for this installation.

“If you think it's expensive to hire a professional to do the job, wait until you hire an amateur.”
