The winner is Bryan Snyder.
He got 'em all correct.

  1. If you want to work on a plumbing fixture, you must shut off water at the main valve.
    True or False
    False
    Each fixture has its own small water shutoff. Look for the little oval knob near the wall and low to the floor. This is a lot more convenient than shutting off water to the whole building.

2) Electrical receptacles/outlets and switches should be a minimum of 3 feet away from:
a) showers
b) doors
c) drunk people
d) thermostat
a) showers

~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~
3) Every building with plumbing has both ___ and drainage systems
a) Cleaning
b) Gutter
c) Supply
d) Demand
e) c-d
c) Supply
All this means is that clean water enters the house, and wastewater leaves it. These are separate systems, to prevent contamination.

~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~
4) Which of the following is not a normal operating control?
a) a wall switch
b) the fuse box
c) a safety switch
d) a thermostat
b) The fuse box

~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~
5) Inspect this please

Although some areas have missing insulation, the main issue here is it was installed upside down
