Worst week I ever had on a boiler retube in Houston last July

Three tubes split during hydro testing and the steamfitter foreman kept yelling at me for the fit-up. I lost 12 hours of overtime and my favorite chipping hammer somehow got dropped into the mud drum. Anybody else have a job that just keeps going sideways no matter what you do?

Buddy of mine had a condenser tube bundle that was so tight they had to cut half the tubes out just to get the old ones out. Maintenance sup kept blaming him for not being careful enough. Ended up having to reorder half the bundle.

They probably forgot to stress relieve those headers before welding them out.
