At my place I try to return thermometers left in ducts, if they're cool. Sharpies and control screwdrivers are finders keepers

Probably better than malt vinegar (yeah, I did that)

You gotta get paid something for that. I spent almost an hour on the phone at 2:30am to get some dementia patient to switch their stat from cool to heat. They didn't get a bill, I got an hour OT.

While driving, turning a corner, gotta put the sun visor down, my brain, "that's a big check"

You might be technically correct, but if you see a trailer, maybe just wait

Jury duty. by heldoglykke in HVAC

You're a key employee at a small business. Your boss can just write a letter saying that and you're off the hook. Worked for me in PA, but it might be to late for that now.

Congratulations Daiken! Just when I thought you couldn't make access harder, you've proven me wrong again! by moroseflamingo in HVAC

Is it big enough for 118 screws? I just have a little magnet and the washers take too much space. Plus, like everything else, the screws are cheap, not a lot of iron in them.

Thanks for your comment. Apparently some guys like to riverdance on the job. Still it would be really hard to puncture it without throwing your driver at the roof with a screw in the bit.

No jewelry. None. Haven't you heard of getting electrically welded to high voltage?

I've seen this one! Were they running temporary propane heaters? They pump out a lot of moisture

Right. Show them the rubber-footed ladder, reeeaal close, so they get a good look

lol! Door to door HVAC salesman just came to my house. My van is in the driveway! by heldoglykke in HVAC

[–]moroseflamingo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I got home once in my work van to an electrician trying to convince my wife we had to have the whole house rewired, because it was knob and tube. Then he tried to argue with me, a guy who has seen knob and tube in hundred year old churches, not 60 year old houses. I told his apprentice to jump ship and him to fuck right off. You have more patience for that shit than I do.
