CAN YOU TOP THIS?

Welcome to the latest edition of our popular “Can You Top This?” column, featuring the newest entry in the Service Industry News “Horror File. ”

This issue’s entry comes to us from Mike Mamula in Orange County, California.

“I thought it was amazing that it only took 4 gallons of glue to put it all together,” writes Mike.

“This is beautiful work!

“This might qualify for how to plumb a pool equipment room for ease of access, and a piece of work to really be proud of and call your own.”

Thank you Mike. We were most impressed by the number of pumps that are tucked away to where they can’t even be counted.

Other publications like to print lots of pretty pictures of beautiful pools, spas and well engineered installations.

At Service Industry News, we would rather go behind the scenes and take a closer look at the type of stuff our readers encounter everyday. — cracked tiles, tree roots, spaghetti plumbing, rats in the heater, cars in the pool and more!

When you are out in the field and you see something that doesn’t look right, send us an email along with a picture and a brief description: Attention Horror File, serviceindustrynewscd@yahoo.com.
