I think this is good enough?
My guy was complaining that I didn't give him a good enough drawing to install this straightforward gas piping job. He has over 10 years in the trade and shouldn't even really need a drawing as he was able to stop by there and pre-inspect it himself the night before.

Maybe the 10 years is getting to him, maybe he wanted pictures of the appliances. This is at the most a half day jod with one man. Looks pretty easy to me.

Sounds like he doesn't like plumbing gas lines and was hoping you'd do it.

I think I'm making the mistake again of thinking that others can do as I do. Guess it's time to strap on my toolbelt again.
Instead of doing this:

the problem with your drawing is-------------there aren't any measurements-------------no wonder he was confused

He visually went out and saw the job beforehand, does he need measurements at that point, plus it's mostly flex. Originally Posted by dandyme
