'25 Quote of the Day!

'25 Quote of the Day!

'25 Quote of the Day!

(OP)
We're not here to inspect whether or not the sprinkler system has been properly installed, we're here to inspect a properly installed sprinkler system! See Notes 1 and 2



1 Please read the fine print.
2 (Disclaimer to the fine print).

And yes, you all have my blessings to use that little ball of wit.

Took me a moment to catch on, been a long day, but this is exactly the way it is.

Thanks.

RE: '25 Quote of the Day!

(OP)
If we had those smiley emoticon dealies here, I might have added one of those that have a slightly consternated look after the quote. And my apologies. I was being somewhat of a smart ass.

It's just that given the number of sprinkler systems I have seen that are NOT code compliant, it seems like it's a bit of a miss on the part of NFPA to only have a '25' to inspect those that HAVE been installed correctly, and not a more encompassing standard that addresses the more serious issue of those that have not.

But I think we've pretty much beaten this horse to death.

Regards
Dave
