Been out welding uphand pipe this last three weeks. Working on 3" hot water piping feeding some boilers. Funny thing is the prints call out a 2-1/2" 3 way valve(mixing valve) and 2-1/2" balance valve. So had to drop down in the proper locations to 2-1/2" flanges, don't understand that one and have asked but seems nobody can explain it to me. Again, no fitter on this job......well me but can't call myself a true fitter. Everything has gone pretty smooth on this one. They changed the location of the piping so instead of running to existing valves we have to shut down the system, drain it and weld in new flanges and butterfly's so I can finish and tie it all in. The second couple of pictures is of a set of stair stringers I'm working on for a client. Told him typically channel is used but on this house(very nice home) I could not see using something so industrial looking, even for back steps. So I stood there looking at his rotting wood stringers and thought.....why couldn't I have them cut out just like wood stringers. So found a place 20 minutes from home that does laser cutting, sent them a print and three weeks later(they were covered up) I got my stringers. Got them together today and gonna put on some stubs on the outside at the top and bottom to mount the railing with bolts. He also did not want any wood on these, boring bee's are trying to consume his home! So they decided on Trex decking. Whole thing will be done in white powder coat with decorative collars on the balusters and 2-1/4" caprail and large lambs tongues. Getting stoked about getting this done, gonna look pretty slick I think. Anyhow, here are the pics. Oh yeah, and put a pic of a pipe cap on here, the two bullet holes are from an apparent misfire with my new tomahawk chipping hammer!! Looking to get done with this job, local welding repair shop guy I know of is getting an SA200 ready for me....so excited!!!
Mr. Versatility! Last pics you had up you were pipelining, now you're burning 7018 uphand and if that ain't enough, they threw some stairs at you. Way to go Cummins!!
