    Well was cleaning the furnace, the basement reminded me of a dungeon. The tanks are not my problem. The curved copper was a piece of work. Need to give that guy a job installing freon lines.

    Kinda wondering how the safey relieve will ever work correctly with that. The central main line goes up like 30 inches into the floor joist and then out a wall somewhere.

    Judging by the pics it's not a finished basement, why not put them to the floor, any idiot can figure that they should never go up hill. Some people need a good slap in the face.

    It was the basement from hell. Beat the cop webs down so I could reach the furnace. I was amazed the owner had new filters there so they could be changed monthly.

    Did this art work tie into the TPR discharge tube from the right hand WH? Creative venting, too. More pics?
    Keep the fire inside the fireplace.
