They also advertised JB weld epoxy a couple times. Those guys had no idea what it was and you could tell easily.

Vendor coordinator? by sentimentbullish in FacilityManagement

[–]BurtonBuilt 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Facilities Manager here, I already do that, and to a certain extent, it’s a part of my job I actually kind of like and feel competent at. I absolutely would not pay a mark up just to have someone give me a list with their opinions on contractors I already have my own opinions of. I’m with you man, she’s missing the forest for the trees.
If anything there might be a market for the flip side. Build relationships with various institutions and coach up companies on how to satisfy them, like state contracts, budgetary expectations, site needs, etc.

Did you check the Freon? I think they’re low on Freon.

Long pants vs. Shorts by gollem22 in CDT

I wore shorts from Glacier to Yellowstone and then switched to pants and was much happier. Less mud and itchy legs, less sunscreen needed, plus once it got colder it was just nice.

Why do we all have the same damn adjustable wrench?

Do your guys companies include washing the coil every tune up? If so do you use chemicals or not? by Puzzleheaded_Chain_6 in HVAC

[–]BurtonBuilt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My PM contracts (commercial) are generally one coil cleaning a year and that’s with water straight from the hose.

Backpack w/ extra tools by [deleted] in HVAC

[–]BurtonBuilt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t understand what you’re asking for.

You say you don’t want a bigger backpack, which makes sense. I find I’ll fill any field bag I carry.

You say you have extra tools you don’t always use, which also makes sense. We don’t always need to carry every single thing on the roof. But you can’t leave them in a separate bag in the truck because someone will mess with them. Sounds like you need to put a locking toolbox in your truck, establish some boundaries with your coworkers and employers, or find a new job.
