We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember Grimly Curmudgeon saying something like:

What would a plumber be doing with acetylene though?

I only carry one of those Benzomatic propane jobbies.

Roof racks tend to be light (obviously), but look at the roof damage the "other side" of the roof on the last photo, that's fallen from quite a height.

Acetylene is used by some plumbers, but they tend to be working on rather larger pipework than domestic :-) He may do welding on the side, flame spraying and such like. Could just be a Chem Eng wanting to play (you know what they are like... expanding foam was not fast enough...)

Now post some links to those crazy dutchmen

Ahhh, no worries - that'll buff right out!
