As Brian said, Pipe and his crew do some really nice looking work, but many of us here could if given that amount of planning time (3mos I think he said) and CAD drawings of the routes taken.

The difficult part is the planning, and once that is done for you, the impressiveness isn't so impressive anymore.

Yea, the planning is difficult (so is managing it all). I agree, the actual work is the easiest part of what we do (or pretty much any business). IMO though, it doesn't take away from the work performed in the field. Sure, a lot of guys here could do work that nice (and I'm sure a lot of you guys have). If you post pictures of your pipe work that compares, I will admire your work too.

Pipe, I sure hope you keep posting your pics. :thumbsup:

I look forward to seeing the others post pics like pipe's.

Good sound installation practices as Pipe does is a real skill, it was never my intent to slam the quality of his work, just attitude towards others skilled tradesmen and 123 is purely a joke. I cannot believe he is anything but a troll and not all that good at trolling.

Or hopefully he is pipes apprentice then he would be forgiven for his squatting to take a wiz approach to pipe.

Well lets start with my ID Brian I was Nick years ago now iam Piperunner
on MH iam Ohmhead . I don't Troll any forum and I don't brag about my work but just come on to show what we do in Florida .

One thing that is fact construction work is always on this forum from my view point seen as simple task that anyone can do .

Not true if your on our projects .

And the work installed if you use a Auto cad system is seen as the planning of the job .
Not true on any project .

Fact CAD is just a computer generated drawing the real planning is done by the electrician who designs the electrical rooms and conduit routes .

The Cad folks are not electricians there told how were and at what elevation
there purpose is to do it on the computer so everyone can see it .

Meaning the engineers and other trades its funny but we have done bigger jobs with more conduits more gear over the years .

Cad has been around for us 10 years 3-D has only been part of our work the last two years .

So a pencil and paper was our layouts in the past lots of jobs before Cad .

What most folks don't understand is its not accurate the building structural
grid or architectural is not perfect beams are off columns are not correct


No one project is per 1/16" of a inch as shown on the drawing other trades do not install it to the letter .

Cad is good but just for look see at meetings for the office boys to talk
about coordination . Because they don't have a clue to what it takes to overcome the install in the field .


Anyone who thinks a construction electrician is a monkey or just follows a cad plan that's a joke
steel is off decks are thicker or at the wrong elevation this can be inches.
drawings are wrong lack of engineer to include measurements changes weekly other trade screwing up and that is when I say you never done a real electrical job .

Now that statement really effects some on this forum because its a true
statement were not bragging or picking .

What iam saying is you don't have a clue if you think that you have never
done a large project yourself .

Id like you to visit ours once and tell me that after a walk thur if your in Florida PM me ill be happy to take you on a tour Brian.

For the control folks or service guys or industrial guys who do you think installs it before you service it .

That's what gets me a little up tight Brian some times and I just laugh at the comments about construction electricians .


If you think thats bragging or arrogant LOL brothers iam just telling it like it is .

I have been on big projects I have seen artful installations and I NEVER criticized your work excellent work, nor chided your for your work, nor did I say you were bragging, I did feel you were a little arrogant in your assessments of other electricians. YOU derided other tradesmen, you started this BS.

So you accused me of what you did to other members then whine about being called out on it.

YOU ARE NOT THE ONLY ELECTRICIAN ON THIS FORUM, and you DO NOT HOLD A PATENT ON GOOD QUALITY, get over yourself.

I don't do pipe work.. like ever. I'm easily impressed by the work pipe runner posts, but I'm more impressed he has the balls to post his own work.

I know better than to post my own work, everything on here gets scrutinized and ripped to shreds.

Looks good to me!
Exactly, THough I never slammed his work, just his attitude.

Well when are you going to finished that so we can pick it apart .

This should be not be in this section!!!!! This I think should be in general forum section how come its here iam contacting a mod now mister you are in trouble think before you post a photo of conduit it should be in the conduit section only!!!!! This is getting out of control what the hell were you thinking .

Theres a screw missing out of one of them couplings why did you use EMT ?

How come you didn't use flex ?

Is it rigid or what I can tell ?

Who did the planning that's the real work just running the conduit is nothing that paper drawing is the key were not impressed sorry but the cad guy is the one who gets it done and don't ever forget it .

Why didnt you just strap it to the deck wasting all that material ?

Hey get a camera that works or don't post stuff we cant see clearly its hard to pick out the bad pipe I cant see it its too blurry put some new batterys in damit .

Weres this at ?

Did you use a 881 or a 188 bender ?

People do this type of work all over the USA so why did you post it why is this posted can you give us a reason ?

Why didn't you run rigid is that a industrial place .

That's nothing its just a few 90 ,s anyone can do that even a monkey .

Why so many bends could have used a box why didn't you use a box how come you didn't use a box you could have used a box we always use a box .

Why is it overhead ?

How long did it take to bend all those elbows you could have just used factory 90,s and hundreds of couplings .

Your really arrogant do you think your the only one who bends conduit anyone can do that what bragging huh .

What high tech formulas did you use did you use a tape measure or a yard stick .

Ill bet that was layed out by a CAD GUY so you didn't do it he did it .:laughing:

Try spelling better I cant read your post and its really a shame learn how t spe ll because we cant understand your post .

Sorry but a Monkey could do that .:thumbsup::thumbsup:

Nice work for a southern boy didn't think you guys could read or write good job like it !
