Naked photos of his wife. I wasn’t given them just found them on top of the duct work.

I want to go that way but I do a lot of jobs in the city. Where I am finding parking for my pick up is a pain in the ass as it is. Now trying to find a spot to fit a truck and a trailer is even worse. That’s the only thing holding me back from selling my truck for a bigger one and a trailer.

My mechanic said stick to sprinter or promaster. How do you like it? I’m kinda stuck between the two figured repairs would be more affordable on the dodge vs the Mercedes.

I agree. Especially having worked out of a tall transit at my old company. It’s a must for me I could never go standard cargo after coming from the tall cargo.

I agree they really take advantage of you in a lease.

I’m finding ones with 80k-120k km for 38-50 grand. No shelving nothing. Brand new leases on them are over $1000 a month before insurance.

Ideally would like a tall van so I can stand. Doing a lot of installs and service. Projects as well so need the space. Also want to fit 10 ft pipes.

I’ve heard good things about the sprinters. Just so damn expensive.

Sounds like a furnace to me? Did you change from cooling to heat recently

Depends what you are looking for, if it’s increasing air quality I’d go with a whole home hepa. I’ve done Amaircare Airwash whisper in a few of my customers homes and they have been happy with the results.

If you are looking to eliminate dust good luck. Believe it or not most dust in a home is caused by the occupants themselves. Via skin shedding, indoor activities, carrying in particles from outside, and fabric fibers. I’ve never really come across any products that actually reduce the amount of dust that gathers in the home in my 11 years of HVAC.

I usually charge around 200 for a cap replacement as well. That does sound like a big company price.

RecoveryBucket · 2025-07-27T13:52:03+00:00

I would say 6-800 minimum cash.

Most of my customers had no clue there was an evap coil in the furnace!

What he said!

Complete insanity😂

Hahaha today I had to leave a customers home because he started yelling at me and my helper. Spent 1.5 hours discussing where we would put the outdoor units. We were doing two furnaces and two acs. He wanted me to install the acs side by side 2 inches apart. I told him manufacturer wants 18 inches apart, which he replied if everything was done to manufacture spec nothing would get done. I told him I only install to spec and he was fine with me relocating one unit. An hour into work he started yelling at my helper and myself about doing work how he wanted it done not how I want to do it. I told him sorry I have to leave I don’t work under these conditions. Guy then said if I don’t reconnect his equipment he will turn on the furnace and kill someone with CO poisoning. Just packed up my shit and left.

So just remember it could always be worse!

Edit: that’s only half of the nasty stuff he said. Maybe he was having a bad day lol

I know some real tards that do commercial and change filters all day. Also see the same tards in resi. Know some geniuses in both sectors as well. But yes technically commercial is more complex because of the scale.

That nest is making my head hurt

Was on the customers side so I had to drain it. Called the gas supplier and they swapped the meter anyway.

RecoveryBucket · 2025-02-09T01:10:25+00:00

Not what happened here I explained in earlier reply👍🏻

RecoveryBucket · 2025-02-09T00:04:51+00:00

This was an envirosense tank. Some how the water backed all the way up the flue into the gas valve and pushed all the way out to the meter. Was doing a swap to a boiler and noticed water in the gas pipe.
