Where is our Mayne?? He's been gone for 3 days.

Nephews burnt house down?
Nephews stole Mayne's PC for Meth habit?
His musical career took off and he's touring?
Olds has him trapped in his basement?

Inquiring (nosey) minds want to know?

Has anybody seen my old friend Mayne?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
He drank a lot of sterno,
But the good, they die young
Can you tell me where he's gone.
:(

Ir was only 45 feet after all..but my ladder couldn't reach the top of the house...so i had to a ladder to get up on the back part of the house and then put another ladder on top of that roof to reach the top...both flat roofs were covered in water and ended up soaking wet after everything was done. then spent the rest of the day running gas lines to the furnace...I feel sick right now. Now I got to run a shitload of gas pipe for another full system tomorrow on a sunday. I'm tired lol

Atleast its a small liner going in a big chimney then. Nobody around here worries about orphaned chimneys we just leave the water heater on the old common furnace chimney.

I just had a fun week on a gas repair, utility red tags an apartment building for a leak so I go in fix the leak, utility comes back out to turn it on says there's another violation. I get there they didn't leave a red tag so I call up and they say its because the CSST isn't bonded. I said it sure in the fuck is you need to send someone smarter out here. Later that night I get woken up by a real fucking moron telling me yes sir its bonded but you see they ran stranded wire to it and it has to be solid wire. So we go round and round he keeps telling me its in the book I tell him no its not you're a fucking idiot he hangs up on me. So I get the utility book out and read through the CSST bonding section to see no mention of solid or stranded wire being specd. So I call the utility and tell them to send someone that won't trip on the loose step to the cellar and bust their head making them retarded. Gas is finally back on after the tenants had no heat all week.
