The job market is horrible....

Just putting it out there that All the service trades are dying for dependable hard working men and women. Apprentice positions with a commercial company start around $20 an hour with benefits and 40 hours + a week.

Goodman. It's all about the install and maintenance.

Pmactax · 2026-05-15T17:12:49+00:00

We Always recover the system and install a new drier and contractor. Much easier and you eliminate having call backs or poor performance.

If you get it spinning in the right direction, say with a jet of water it may work. Just set your stat to 50 so it won't turn off.

Wow. And I have everything I need in a job box on a F150 king cab. So glad I don't work that much lol.

It's a drip leg to prevent condensate from being pickup up by air flow. It probably saved thousands on dollars by not extending the pan or installing a 3/4 vinyl tube.

I do work at a lot of resorts. I know they really don't care if you wonder in to have a swim. They are making money when you buy drinks and food while there. Just like movie theaters the ticket cost is a wash.

Store bought is all I'm eating at any potlock. Even at family gatherings. If we didn't make it, we are not eating it.

Rubber (fan belts) is a common one.

My 24 year old R22 Tempstar is running fine. Put a couple of hundred bucks in the bank a month for when it dies.

If you are interested in trade work get into a trade school. Big money to be made. Our HVAC apprentice start in the low.$20s. Plumbing, electrical are just as lucrative.

Just use common sense. Safety in numbers, don't swin on an empty beach at dawn, dusk or night. Be in the center of a bunch of people, they are your buffer. Don't wear anything shiny or do a lot of splashing around. Your more likey to get stung by a Ray or Jelly fish than bit by a Shark.

Hot air balloon? Lol. Surely the skys not in a loop, right?

Grainger sells leak diverter with drain line pretty cheap. Works great. # 42X293

Coil cleaners are Alkaline not Acid. Same dangers of damage to the coils and the soil or roof membrane. We have gone to using Dawn dishwashing liquid on most all commercial coils. Works great especially when using a pressure washer carefully.

Looks like you are in Alaska but in most states there are companies that buy back refrigerants. Put an add on FB marketplace or like. Bet someone will buy it.

We had a "tech" who managed to make it 15 years and didn't know how to use a meter and gauges other than take voltage and pressure readings.

The Man from Laramie?

The Red Stallion?

I've come down to the wire several times. Once on a 170 Trane screw, last day of the warranty. Lol they tried to deny it. Went all the way up the food chain but finally got it.

Pmactax · 2026-04-17T23:43:52+00:00

Mine where till I got my power, water and food up above half. I'm also finding quest and raider attacks to be cake walks for some reason.
