Here's a great example of someone having no self pride in workmanship. Both underground 1k gal propane tanks are manifolded together to a regulator in the center. Excessive amounts of yellow sheathed vapor copper tubing, accidentally placed to keep the tank lids open and unable to close. The snow and ice will soon render these tanks unfillable when the tank risers fill up with snow and ice.
Good job America. Pride in ones work is dead.

Re: IS YOUR WORK YOUR SIGNATURE?
I am a builder. I do meticulous work. Often the difficult and dangerous stuff
no one else wants to touch. Even more often fixing EXACTLY the kind of work
you describe. I am booked out three years thanks to these clowns. I should be
grateful, but I pain for the clients who get to pay twice because the first guy was
a lazy, incompetent, or nefarious POS.
Some of you may remember all that media BS about some "pandemic" they
called "COVID" ? Let me tell you, ... the TRUE "pandemic" is SFB Syndrome.
Please give generously when volunteers call .....

COULDN'T AGREE MORE!
I just couldn't believe what a total hack job this tank set is. I've never seen one done so poorly.

I have found that "good enough" almost never is.

Re: IS YOUR WORK YOUR SIGNATURE?
Keeping it strictly to Model Ts, I find "best" is original. As I correct the work of the followers of that popular Greek philosopher, "Mediocrates" who re-restored the restoration of my Lizzie.

A Friend used to tell me :
"Perfection is the enemy of good enough"
I wound tell him :
"Good enough, isn 't."

Re: IS YOUR WORK YOUR SIGNATURE?
She swings a mean hammer, and you should see the damage her brother does with a sickle...
From a better, earlier time (for them)....
Side note - I saw this in person in Moscow, on a pedestal driving one of the main streets there. The work itself is kind of impressive - it's huge, and stainless, and when you drive past it, the image lines up to form the Soviet hammer and sickle (as shown above). When the USSR fell in 1991, they tore down the statue andcut it up for scrap. Someone years later saw parts of it in the scrapyard, (it was 90% there), realized what it was, bought all the pieces, and commissioned to have the statue rebuilt and resurrected, as it was so much a part of Moscow's history....
Obligatory Ford Content - Not only does the T in Russia predate the "revolution", there are still 20's Fordson tractors, mostly on display but rough, celebrating the mechanization ot the kholkoz, thanks to Ford (and WAY predating the lend lease act and WW2).
