   Having spent a few years in the Navy and some of that time on a Cruiser, I came to appreciate and admire really neat electrical and plumbing layouts.

   WHW, in my opinion, that's a fine example of really nice work!

   Very nice. Neat. Easy to trouble shoot. Everything accessible to being checked, maintained and repaired. Vital information printed in a durable form and held close to hand. An all round good job. Better by far than most systems I have seen installed. Some of which looked like they were installed by drunken monkeys. IMHO, as if an electrician would know, you have cause to be proud.

   Not a criticism: the only way I can imagine to improve it would be to do what they do at some, all?, nuclear plants and military installations where all flexible lines are required to have a loop of slack and all are color coded, labeled with both purpose and flow direction and given an identifier keyed to both a local system diagram, usually an etched placard, and the trouble shooting instructions.

   These changes could drastically increase the costs of the installation I realize but they might be offered as an added cost option for those HOs willing to go, and pay for, the extra mile.

   Geez, Wet Heat, you need to get with the program...

   There's a company up in Vermont that will prefab a unit for you. It'll save you hours of cutting and sweating copper.

   Their products are guaranteed to perform to a minimum standard, and I believe their copper and joints won't pinhole for at least three months after installation, giving you plenty of time to cash the customer's check, change your phone number, and leave town.

   Seriously, nice work.

   I like neat work. I like a logical layout. I recognize pride in craft.

   Looks like you're three-for-three.

   Looks neat and well done.

   some labeling might be a good idea too.
