After completing my first job I'm thinking of quitting my regular job and doing plumbing full time

  I do always hate the plumbing through doors psychologically but still, even with my background being mostly in electronics and vehicles that still looks like work to be proud of.

  When the neighbour is too noisy so you told him to pipe it down

  Many years ago, the university I studied at did some construction work in the chemistry department, which included rerouting the supply lines from the big oxygen and LPG tanks so they could reach the new lab they were building.

  Turns out the contractor was either an idiot or misread the plans, and ended up running the pipes straight through one of the fire-resistant walls designed to compartmentalize the building so fires can’t spread as easily - a hole in one is a Big Deal on its own, but then running pipes full of accelerant through it essentially voided the buildings safety certificate and insurance, and ment that if there was a fire, the main evacuation path would have been a deathtrap.

  I don’t know what happened to the contractor, but labs were closed for a few weeks while they purged the lines of gas, removed the badly installed lines and repaired the wall

    Anybody who cuts a hole in a wall should know what the hell a firewall is. The university really skimped out on that job.

    Certain unnamed consulting company had a laboratory that was converted from normal office space in a rental office building. All the corrosive fumes from their processing area were ventilated to general ventilation. In the ground floor. Even their own office ventilation ducts were dripping acid and they had a piece of roof drainage suspended with wires to catch it. Fire exits were blocked by hydrogen tanks. Ground floor, so on need for fire exits. People can just brake a window.

    People are destructive idiots that seldom get caught.

  If the door is permanently sealed then it’s not really a problem.
