Exactly... Some people take short cuts that I wouldn't want in my engines, so I build my own so I know that it's done right... (And minimize my chance of breaking down....) :steering:
Not car related but, back in my younger days, my boss sent me and my helper out after 5:00 o clock to do the rough in plumbing on a 2 bath , 3 bedroom house. It had been raining for 2-3 days and was miserable to work out side, we loaded up the plbg. truck and drove about 2 1/2 - 3 miles to the job. We were the only ones on the job of course. The boss had already dug under the footings for the water service and sewer kick out. My helper should have had his license, and could think as fast or faster than me. All we had to do was stomp the pipe into the mud to get the fall that we needed. My helper notched the stem wall for a floordrain that set in the garage under the hotwater heater, and was ready for the pipe by the time I got there. We finished the rough in and was back at the shop in under an hour. Had to wait almost 2 hours on the boss to get back to let us in to lock up the truck. He couldn`t believe it, and went down, after we left to check it. The next morn. he was bragging on us in front of everyone , and wanted us to work like that all the time, was always wanting something extra.
Back in those days a guy had to work to feed his family, and plumbing wasn`t near as easy as it is now, used copper for the water lines back then too !. We had done that house a few times before and pretty well knew the measurements to hit the walls w/o looking at the plans.
We did not test it at that time tho.
