That advice about not using PVC for hot water recirc lines cost me big
Tbh an old plumber named Dale told me last year that PVC on recirc systems was fine as long as you kept the temp under 140. I had a 3-story apartment building in Denver and used PVC for all the recirc returns. After 6 months a joint let go in the ceiling. Flooded two units. Insurance covered most of it but still cost me $4,200 out of pocket. Anyone else had a 'friend' give them bad advice that ended up costing real money?

Did Dale offer to help with the cleanup crew at least?

Honestly I bet Dale was probably the one organizing the cleanup behind the scenes while everyone else was just standing around complaining. Guy seems like he'd quietly grab a broom and start sweeping before anyone even asked.
