Joe the Plumber was busy on a new multi-million dollar mansion in Greenville. Normally he keeps track of what he needs in his head, but this project was so big that he made a list of the parts he needed, breaking each installation out separately. Now all he had to remember is how everything fit together!
North Wing Jobs
5 pipes, 1 tee, 2 elbows
6 pipes, 1 tee, 4 elbows
5 pipes, 1 tee, 2 elbows
6 pipes, 1 tee, 4 elbows
2 pipes, 1 coupling
5 pipes, 4 elbows
7 pipes, 2 tee, 4 elbows
West Wing Jobs
6 pipes, 2 couplings, 4 elbows
3 pipes, 1 coupling, 1 elbows
5 pipes, 4 elbows
4 pipes, 1 tee, 1 elbows
5 pipes, 4 elbows
5 pipes, 4 elbows
6 pipes, 1 tee, 4 elbows
3 pipes, 1 coupling, 1 elbows
Joe tried to save time by buying a lot of small pipe sections so he didn’t have to cut any long pipes to shorter lengths, although he knew that he might have to use some couplings to join two pipes to make a longer straight section.
Two jobs in north wing used same parts as a job in the west wing, but he rememberd that the two North wing jobs were bigger than west wing job. Joe also noticed that three jobs in the West wing and a job in the north wing all had same materials for medium size jobs and he would have to remember not to use the parts for a small job he did last week with identical parts
