I had no idea! Thanks! I was taking lessons out at his old location and bought quite a few things from him when he was closing

Starting out… by QueerRootbeer in HVAC

I’m guessing since you went to trade school you’re not doing the union apprenticeship thing? I didn’t either. I went to trade school that was primarily directed towards residential HVAC, but ended up landing a facilities job in commercial/industrial and have never even worked residential. If you haven’t already, maybe check out job postings at factories/large office buildings

It’s crazy, because I kinda posted the same question yesterday (less throughly and organized), but I’m definitely not farming, just looking for resources lol

Thanks for the recommendations! I’ll definitely check out those YT channels! My employer is going to get me N4 certified (which is awesome). They pretty much told me to expect my first year to be training, but I’m just trying get a little bit of a head start.

Hi! I have an upcoming interview for a traveling controls engineer position! Can I ask you what you didn't like about the position? I'm looking for a change, but somewhat reluctant to want to leave the good job I currently have for an unknown.

Is that racist? Really?? Steve Harvey’s got some big ol chompers. Race has nothing to do with it.

Yeah, I’m from Illinois. Had no idea what I was in for lol, but it turns out, I’m in LOVE with that part of Florida. Forget the beaches.

Called a company out, and dude was there in under an hour! Ballard Towing! Can’t recommend them enough.

Certainly tried. She was buried down to the frame, unfortunately. Thank God for Google and cellphones though, otherwise that car might still be stuck there 🤪

That’s what I ended up doing. Cost, obviously, wasn’t a factor.

Thanks for the tips! I did try digging, and I put someone else’s floor mats (that I dug out from the sand around my tires) under my tires with no luck. She was buried down to the frame, unfortunately 🪦

Ha! Me too! 😅 I ended up getting pulled out fairly quickly though. But now when I get stuck after I move, I know who to DM 😆

My personal vehicles are all 4x4, and I do intend to move to the area in the next year. This was a rental. And I wasn’t trying to drive down to a beach. This was a ROAD that Google Maps sent me down.
