the valve install was at a local lumber mill,
riser clamp with some sweet welding action...lol..only way i could think to anchor
the rat was a passenger i found, he immediately met his maker via a collision with a pipe wrench.

van is almost too big..but...i have 20 footers inside, and 16 feet of shelving 6' high, job box, and room for a pallet of trim.

fitting in most driveways, not so easy.

Re: Misc Pics Thought Id Share


c'mon guys post some pics,,,,
ideas on van shelving/storage??
how you store your fittings??
you should be using that digital camera on the job....shows hidden clean outs, nailplating (had sheetrockers remove then damage pipes), used it to locate a trap primer that sheetrockers covered, etc.

Chevy T-6500 20 foot box, with 1600# lift gate, 7.0 liter gas motor 4 speed allison transmission, 4.7 mpg...woohoo...I got it from the local auction yard for $14K it had 112K miles on it but runs great. No interior pics yet...need to have a little more time off to get it back to picture worthy...lol it was owned previously by King County Library.

Main 4" PVC water line for a trailor park. Found old hydrant leaking at base, that puppy was expensive, $1000. Fixed and backfilled was all extra.

Nice, when i was an Air Force Plumber, we did alot of utility work, fire hydrants, main line prv's, altitude valves, etc....lots of fun...not too bad if you have a good backhoe operator.
