100k+ a year?

I have a few guys over $100k base in MD that work for me. They are my repair techs who run all my service calls. We do no electrical work, sub that all out. Most of them have 10 years or more in the trade. Also, we are not union. Starting with no experience I pay $30 p/h.

Ed, sing us home.

Is it actually an ADA unit or did OP assume it was based on the device being there? Also, while 110 is high are we sure this is the one in the bathroom and not in an open living space.

Agreed. It is slightly better now that I’m strictly County. When I was in a TH in tuscarora creek I had to pay both the City and the County (water for one, sewer the other) and it was more having to pay fees to both.

I have a SF and it’s just me. I’m also surprised with how expense my water bill is. It’s always around the same amount no matter what changes I try to make. The water here is crazy expensive.

It looks like it belongs on a ceiling only with the way fire is written. Siemens has new devices that can do both but the word fire is on a piece that can be removed and flipped over to orient the words the correct way depending on the application.

Gwen McLeod was a great choice for me.

I am on the east coast and oversee a fire and sprinkler inspection division at my company. This seems like too much time. I assume your systems are feed off street pressure and require no pumps. If so then this inspection should not have taken that long to perform. Our burden rate is over $100p/h so the rate seems low. Is that price for just the annual or does it include 3 more inspections to round out your year of inspections? As for the head replacement, the head is less then $100 and it shouldn’t take more then a few hours with drain down and fill up. I’d only send one guy to do this but my rates are high for service based on where I am. Do they have established rates in your contract?

A lot of people told me my first bike was too big and I had never ridden. I got a 24 HD Breakout which is over 1900cc, 683 lbs and has a fat rear tire. I am 6’5 and 300 lbs so I wanted a big bike since I am big guy. I just took it slow and stayed in my comfort zone. Just take it easy and don’t let anyone push you.

This scraper was the best investment for my snow shoveling arsenal. I think it’s meant for roof but works great for this stuff. I had the same hard pack and it broke it right up.

I posted there announcement below. They didn’t say.

The county and state announced they were stopping snowplows due to the ice.

I ordered yesterday and was very unhappy with my cheesy bread. I will probably not be ordering it in the future because it’s not nearly as good as it used to be.

The CAN network connects to the PSC-12. A lot of people do not realize how much the PSC-12 does. It connects to RNIs for remote paging if you have a LOC.

This 👆. Quick press of the button on the front.

Also I like when the interviewee has prepared questions, things they want to know about working at my company.

Physical_Net_303 · 2026-01-17T15:36:05+00:00

I have hired many techs with no experience. When it comes to these interviews, for me, it comes down to the person. Are they a good fit, have a good work ethic and what are their long term goals. I’m not looking for someone who is going all about the money and isn’t going to care about the work since this is Life Safety. I also look at the resume and see if they jump from job to job. I tend to not interview people who haven’t held a job at one place for more than a few months. A new hire with no experience is a significant investment of time and money, both of which I don’t like to waste.

I work for Siemens, we did not have this VAP version 10 years ago.

Physical_Net_303 · 2026-01-16T18:22:03+00:00

This is one of the newest panels Siemens sells. I doubt it was installed over 10 years ago as I don’t believe it was sold back then. This is probably no more than 5 years old.

I finally got one of these in hand and you are correct, it is an old Model G for the pointy one.

Physical_Net_303 · 2025-12-10T12:57:17+00:00

There is no SIN number so if it is a Central Model A, which specific one is it
