Thanks Steve, Todd, and Cliff. About 20 years ago I was walking a 40 story high-rise in Houston with the foreman and started noticing a lot of places that where I had designed a horizontal offset and an elevation change using (2) 90's instead of (3) he had installed (3) 90's (big pipe too!). I had even noted "ROLL PIPE UP". I was told "We don't roll pipe in Texas". When a co-worker asked me to post this, that was the first thing I thought about :)
