This must be the plumber’s equivalent of that old hammer and nail proverb…

My first thought was that this would be a very expensive stool! But then I remembered shopping for stools recently… and they are pretty much all very expensive! :blush:

In the 30s-40s, my dad owned & ran a specialized pipe-fitter contracting firm (super steam piping) . You should have seen the deck railings on the family home.

I was in the house today with PEX piping. Looks so chintzy.

If done so that you cannot tell it is not copper, economical.

My folks bought the first motorhome (guessing mid 70's) from a plumber. Steps up into it was galvanized pipe on the interior. I forget all the other plumbing related items it had, but it was obviously a plumbers rig.

I once bought an antique motorhome from a retired Delta airlines lead mechanic. The altimeter in the instrument cluster was pretty neat (and actually useful --big block vapor lock at high altitude). Among other 'aircraft' things, there was an aluminum catwalk on the roof. The main appeal, though, was that he'd rebuilt the drive train (FWD Toronado 455 ci).

Remember the model? Maybe a Revcon?

Ah, you know the Toronado lineage. The Revcon was a close cousin. The one mentioned above was a 1976 GMC Eleganza. I also had a Royale and a Birchaven.

BTW, we never determined if the stool was K, L, or M copper tube.
