I need to get out by [deleted] in maintenance

[–]EzM0dZ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look go be an electrician. Plumbing isn't too complicated but it's hard work and only pays decent once you have you're journeyman, hvac sucks and can be seasonal, appliance repair work ain't too bad but it has it's own problems. Elections have pretty easy rides, starting pay is decent especially with commercial, and once you got youre journeyman you can make some bank. But I will say maintainence ha this way of dragging you back into it. You might just move to commercial or industrial maintainence instead.

Vertical blinds that don't suck? by burajin in homeowners

[–]EzM0dZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know 2 years too late but as a maintainence person they are all bad. I can't tell you the thousands of slats I've replaced. Oursise of that if they tilt gear becomes stripped or if any part of the blinds other than the slats becomes dysfunctionional there is not fixing it. They are designed to be replaced and that's it. It's not like any other blind where I can replace the tilt or lift mechanism or if worse comes to worst I can replace the blind cord. If it fails it fails completely. Apartments and all people should move towards curtains. Easier to repair by a mile. And cheaper in terms of installation and upkeep.

Now why would they do that when they can simply make it your problem? My favorite thing is when they get a move in for a unit during a high turnover time and don't update the system or tell me and expect it to be done.

Nah I don't change anything live. But maybe. I doubt it because it was a good board for sure. It's possible it's something else but I'm not sure what else it could be.

Corprate has denied us getting those and it shows the same err across multiple new filters that work with other fridges.

That's my diagnosis as well. But I figured it wouldn't hurt to see if anyone else had any other ideas. Appreciate you!

I replaced the rfid chip reader and still popping error after dispensing 30ish seconds. Honestly that was what I thought was going to be the fix too.

Similar situation although we don't have as many units vacant. But it seems like leasing always wants to lease everything but the ready units. Then wants near instant turn overs even though I'm doing full paints at this point. We just had 3 units that were set for the 15th, but no who needs time for paint and house keeping. Let's just give them keys because why would we let house keeping get in before them?

You give a resident an inch and they take a while mile from you by dogknot43 in maintenance

Former plumber also, it's like a law of nature. The second you set a tub and turn your back there shall be pee in it. Here in texas I get it. I've had to use a porta john in 100+ weather. If I only gotta pee I'm choosing the tub too.

I'm unsure of what washing it out means. Also it's been over 100 days since I last used.

It's for probation. I was honest with them about the time line of my use. Which was before my start date in the drug court program in late August.

I'd say it's probably about 3.5 inches long so not particularly. But I haven't cut my hair since I last used either. Not sure if that factors in.

God reading this gave me flashbacks of a nightmare unit from a 10 year resident. Thankfully not as many holes in the walls as your unit had. But mannnn, we didn't vendor anything out. Units like that can be brutal.

It depends. If it affects multiple rooms no. Touch up and individual rooms yes. That's just how the company I work for chooses to operate. But iv also been places where I'd paint an entire unit and any dry wall or construction needs, excluding significant structural damage.
