sue,

the tank needs to be seismically anchored to a pt post cemented into the ground or other method, we require an incidental spill pan that would contain small leaks from filling operations,changing filters etc.,need bollards for tank protection,don't see a fuel guage on top,would need to see oil line connection to tank for filter and valve set-up,check stove inside for fusible link valve. there are a few issues to begin with.wish i was there! not :mrgreen:

My answers -

Fuel oil piping: per manufacturer rep, not sold in CA. If I allow the piping, it needs to be sleeved for this type of installation and attached to the building with appropriate hangers.

Joint/connection is not protected from the concrete (lime) loading dock hence allowing corrosion of the copper piping and fittings. These also need to have a plastic 'shrink wrap' applied to protect it from the elements. It should also be moved away from the loading dock due to the fact that it is a loading dock and though not in use currently it could be at a later date.

Tank not set evenly. It actually lists a bit towards the parking lot. Bollards to protect the tank from vehicles in the adjacent parking lot.

Sue, where the west still lives.......... :roll: :mrgreen:

Re: How Many Violations Can You Spot? (Monitor Installation)Actual monitor installation. The stand is 2x4 with a plywood top. It is anchored into the block wall. The monitor is about 3 feet off the floor and the only fasteners attaching the monitor to the stand are a couple of small screws through the bottom metal plate. Wonderful, eh?Now when we discussed this, I informed the installer that the monitor heater needed to be strapped to the wall for seismic stability.Sue :x

All you need is Gomer Pyle to go with the quonset hut, then it makes sense.

I talked to the shop owner about the location of the doggie sweaters, I'll check to make sure they are moved next time I drop by the shop.
