Metal Tags

Metal tags (1-25) were obtained from McMaster Carr (http://www.mcmaster.com/#metal-identification-tags/=hswvtd, part # 1090T42). They are made of 304 SS metal with embossed numbering. They can be purchased in packets numbered 1-25, 26-50, 51-75, 76-100, so expansion of the project should not be impeded.   Hopefully, after attaching with plastic tie offs, they should survive power washing and general dirt and still be legible.  The current tape and paper tags have tended to get smudged or be torn or dislodged.  It would have been nice to have the metal tags during the initial demolition.  Every time a connector needed to be separated, a pair of tags could have been attached to each side of the cut point.   No need then to remove gloves, find the pencil, the paper, etc.
 Picture 0961 Plastic tie-offs from Home Depot will complete the attachment.
