Did a landlord's inspection of a boiler in a loft which had some unusual features. Where pipe clips had been screwed into the joists, he'd used wallplugs as well.
The pipes were beautifully insulated with the proper thick insulation, and green garden twine wound round in a helix to hold it, supplemented with cable ties all trimmed to length. I knew something was odd but it took a moment to see why - he'd insulated the gas pipe as well.
Different site, but could have been the same guy, had painted all the pipes. He'd carefully removed all the earth bonding first, and put it back onto the painted pipes.
