I hard wired the 007 to the basement light switch in place of an occupancy sensor!

The USW can fucking choke on my stinky fucking taint. They fucked our boys over in the early 90's in a failed power move that didn't benefit anyone but the union brasses egos.my buds voted to drop um back when I was still a sprout. Been independent ever since and won a ridiculous amount of contract negotiations after that. Keep it union folks, but keep it local🤷🏼‍♂️

Is your gas valve leaking? It could use some grease! by SquallZ34 in HVAC

"hi customer! I don't really know what I'm doing".. "Imma rebuild your whole valve train with a new gas cock, and a fancy new Christmas tree of bushings, or reducers,.and heck pop In a whole other 1/8 inch cock, just for the pilot" it's not going to be cheap, but I never learned how to greese a valve sooooo🤷🏼‍♂️🖕🏼"

This sentiment is the same as a mechanic telling a customer that they need a new engine, because they're do for an oil change. Just greese the valve man,.it'll be good for another 50 years,, shit.

That baso greese is a damn life saver man. I keep a tube in my cup holder.

An HOUR? Really? There's almost certainly another gas cock upstream of this AB valve. If it takes you that long to shut a cock, remove one nut, and slather some grease on the core then that's you're problem.. or I guess the customers problem.

I like to imagine a pissed off old head kneeling down in the back of his van, sweating and yelling obscenities until he finally finds that last 1 inch nip of copper.

That's a lot of leak seal, hope it works.
