    Just when I thought I had seen it all from our installers

    Usually they will leave me a hidden splice that leaks or flipped drain lines or I have to go on a great hunt to find the tstat wire. And the boss man wonders why I take so long on start ups.

    They recycled. Most probably would have just thrown perfectly good buckets away.

    Its just 2 buckets. For as many buckets of mastic I see in the trash pile at job sites they leave a lot of tape w/o mastic on it. I almost knocked the whole thing over trying to punch the knockout to wire the unit.

    haha. That was my experience when I worked for the company in town with a raeford road address. the 'start up' guy is usually the 'correct all the screwups' guy.

    hee,hee, that's right, in a few years when they have to replace it, the installers can re-use those buckets, cause they'll still be like brand new...

    The bad thing is this is one of the better "installs". It drives me crazy but hey my name doesn't go on it. Ill have to take some pics of flex runs these guys run, it will make you cringe.
