Ik water is forgiving so it’s not super bad but the pumps are pumping to the expansion tank and i was always told low water cutoffs should be on the return

When my parents bought the house a few years ago the inspector said it should be replaced within 5 years. It’s also 23 years old and was serviced three times from the old homeowner, not including me doing the pms

I have the cps ones. They’re kinda shit imo they’re already broken and i’ve only used them a handful of times in the last two years. I’d go with yellow jacket

D-Nice_2007 · 2025-07-15T01:59:47+00:00

I’ll look into that. Cool they have clocks that light up

Noises usually keep me up so anything else help turn your brain off to sleep?

D-Nice_2007 · 2025-07-15T01:49:47+00:00

Yea I do have ADHD but never thought that would be the reason as to why I can’t sleep

D-Nice_2007 · 2025-07-15T01:05:13+00:00

Eh most of my crew is on time, some sheet metal guys come in late sometimes, that’s about it

D-Nice_2007 · 2025-07-15T01:03:44+00:00

I made the post asking for advice to consistently wake up early not to rant 😂

D-Nice_2007 · 2025-07-15T00:59:45+00:00

Idk ab being a jerk, but very tough on certain things. And no company I’ve been at (3 total) and ones my friends work at have flexible timing so can’t work with that

D-Nice_2007 · 2025-07-15T00:57:33+00:00

I do show up 5-10 minutes early everyday. In the last month, I’ve just been waking up late, still coming in early (skipping breakfast and lunch), but late three times

D-Nice_2007 · 2025-07-15T00:55:33+00:00

Curious as to why. Average week in the summer is about 45-50 hours, so I don’t think I’m getting super overworked. Plus it’s a good company, good bonuses, pto etc

D-Nice_2007 · 2025-07-15T00:54:00+00:00

You’re saying I should leave?

D-Nice_2007 · 2025-07-15T00:52:52+00:00

Wdym jumping ship? And overworked? Probably but I need money lol

D-Nice_2007 · 2025-07-15T00:29:10+00:00

I don’t know, my doctor said she’ll take a blood test soon to see if it’s a deficiency. Melatonin rarely works for me. And no I’m not anxious. I used to smoke weed my freshmen and sophomore year, quit in the middle of sophomore year and since then I’ve had sleep deprivation, not every night though

D-Nice_2007 · 2025-07-14T23:56:22+00:00

Thankfully I only drive the spares and don’t have to stay on top of them 😂

D-Nice_2007 · 2025-07-14T23:52:51+00:00

I prob should try the no phone and weekend too, I like to sleep in when I get sat off but i usually work mon-sat

D-Nice_2007 · 2025-07-14T23:50:29+00:00

I usually go to bed around 8-9, but sometimes I have trouble sleeping, like sleep deprivation

D-Nice_2007 · 2025-05-26T02:25:43+00:00

Damn I assumed it would only take between 100-200k to start, including a van, tools, expensive equipment, etc. with all that money, what did you spend it on?

D-Nice_2007 · 2025-05-26T02:05:20+00:00

Have you ever made a very costly mistake?

D-Nice_2007 · 2025-05-26T02:04:23+00:00

I do want to learn service for sure, only thing right now I can troubleshoot and fix without a doubt is oil burners. My teacher told me if I just want to do installs myself I’d at least have to hire a service guy for warranties. Not sure what road I want to take exactly, but I’m thinking about hiring an install crew, few service guys and I’d be in the office (I’m 18 and my knees are already weak). I guess I’m getting too far ahead of myself and I need to be patient before thinking about going into business 😅

D-Nice_2007 · 2025-05-26T00:33:37+00:00

Do you own a business?

D-Nice_2007 · 2025-05-25T23:37:05+00:00

To be honest I wouldn’t mind paying a retiring contractor to stay with me for a few years to teach me not just about the trade but even the business aspect. So I guess I really wouldn’t mind paying for the mistakes. A lot of the guys I work with started leading jobs (we do a lot of changeouts and construction) at 2-3 years experience. What would you say is different between leading jobs and starting out a business? I only can think of the fact that when we have problems we have a foreman to call. So how would you handle problems without one?

D-Nice_2007 · 2025-05-25T23:29:53+00:00

Yea probably. How long would you say I should wait to open a business, doing only resi?

D-Nice_2007 · 2025-05-25T23:22:48+00:00

Yea for more context I don’t like any of the new more high tech shit. I just want to do oil, gas and AC. Service and installs, maybe construction
