A thing of beauty is a joy forever! In honor of Valentine’s Day, I share work that makes my Buyer Broker heart go pitter-pat with joy.

Look for: straight wire placement, consistent stapling in place, labeled panel, labeled wires.

Pipes that go every which way is a sign of a cheap retrofit or a poorly organized plumber. High quality work will have neat joins, whatever the pipe material is. Solder is melted to seal metal pipes, glue seals hard plastic pipes, like PVC. Clamps hold flexible pipes like PEX together.
