Sorta OT
"3rd eye" wrote in message I was outside when it happened. The guy doing the brick hit a fire sprinkler pipe. The fire alarm went off water spewing everywhere. I ddn't get a good look at what pipe was used- (I grabbed my tools & left) Sadly this apparently passed code. It could have been just as easily been a homeowner hanging a heavy picture. For you homeowners out there- this kind of damage is usually optional coverage, Consider it! And if you are a small contractor out the without insurance GET IT! Not really off topic, but just a caution that it CAN happen to you. Pipes, wires, ducts, central vac, lots of thing hiding in the walls. |

While I was on travel our son thought he'd do me a favor and hang the
cabinet above the water softener in the garage. One of the nails he used nicked the copper pipe causing a slow dripping leak inside the wall. About bedtime he and my wife strained to hear the drips and called one of the guys I worked with. Came over and opened the wall and soldered a copper patch stopping the leak and it's still there. I replaced that cabinet with a better unit later. Sure can happen! On Mon, 28 Mar 2005 02:19:07 GMT, "Edwin Pawlowski" wrote: "3rd eye" wrote in message I was outside when it happened.
