Bob's reply to Sven reminds me of something I told an apprentice one time. We were moving a 112.5 KVA transformenr with a couple pieces of 3/4 EMT under it to use as rollers. I told him "this is how the egyptians used to move transformers"! He said "Wow! I didn't know the egyptians used transformers"! I didn't know whether to laugh or cry!

Ryan: He was pulling your leg! Ask him to go and get an adjustable needle nose pliers, or a can of blue steam! I have some other views of this "Rope A Dope Installation" and when I find them I will post them.

I didn't know the Egyptians used transformers"! LOL I was once involved with moving a 60,000+ lb piece of equipment a few feet. We did it like the Egyptians, rollers under the four legs. No not EMT but solid steel bars about the diameter of 1" EMT Bob

Ask him to go and get an adjustable needle nose pliers, or a can of blue steam! Two favorite ones for sending apprentices to the stores at BT was for a can of tartan paint and an AC battery.

Of course they didn't. Thats why they had to watch TV in the dark.

Redsy: Of course, they were watching this: (That's Dick Clark hosting the "$10,000 Pyramid" which evolved into the $100,000 Pyramid.)

Gives new meaning to floating neutral." BTW, I believe that sprinkler pipes are supposed to be hung in a manner that will support the pipe, water, plus 300 lbs.
