Betrayed you" is right, @the_richard. Did you have it sealed at all?

Ha, who knew clients actually read that stuff?

We had a runaway bag on a salvage job off Pensacola because the dump valve was clogged with sand. That thing shot to the surface like a rocket and almost hit the workboat's prop. The supervisor made us do valve checks on dry land for a full week after that. I don't even attach a bag now without working both valves by hand first.

My old house in Seattle was that same dark brown, and I always heard it was to hide soot from coal furnaces back in the day. Going with a light color makes a huge difference, especially with our cloudy weather. It feels less like a cave now. I just wish I had done it sooner.

Seems like a lot of fuss over one bad install.
