Hit 100 boiler tubes replaced in a single shift last Friday and had to double check the count
Honestly, I've been doing this for about 8 years and never thought I'd break triple digits in one day. We were working on a old fire tube boiler down at the old Miller plant in Gary, and the tubes were so rotten they practically fell out after I cut the first few. Me and my helper just got into a rhythm with the hydraulic puller and had the new ones rolled in before lunch. It got me thinking though, has anyone else tracked their personal best for tube replacements in a shift? I'm curious if that's actually good or just average for some of you guys.

Question if counting tubes is really the point of the job.

Heard a story from a friend who works in a brewery @troy_murray8, he spent half a shift recounting kegs because someone lost track and the numbers didn't match up for the order.
