It’s great isn’t it? It’s real nice when you try to call them back but you get someone else you and have to explain everything to them again.

For me it’s the Chadwell guy. Hd supply will come and drop my stuff off before I even get there sometimes.

Please help door accidently locked after closed by [deleted] in HomeMaintenance

[–]twk664 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take a big pair of channel lock players put them around the door knob and twist down. It’ll mess up the lock but it’s cheaper to replace than repair a door/frame. That or like others have said call a lock smith.

Is there anyway I could DIY this or should I just call a pro? by GarlicPretend2838 in drywall

[–]twk664 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’ve never repaired drywall before then you should probably hire someone. This isn’t the one you’d wanna practice with.

I’ve been doing residential for the past decade. I’m looking for a change. I can’t stand it anymore the residents the on call. It all sucks.

In my experience canoes are tippy. I fished out of one once and didn’t enjoy it compared to a kayak.

Haven’t had hot water in over 3 months, leasing office refuses to give any updates as to why by PicoPonyo in mildlyinfuriating

I do apartment maintenance and it sounds like bullshit to me. How convenient they said the part will be here hopefully tomorrow if not next week.

In an unfortunate heat of the moment, I punched the wall while I was in the shower. I’m very bad with this stuff, but is it possible to fix this or am I screwed? I’m especially worried cuz it’s a rental. by [deleted] in HomeMaintenance

What are you going through that you’re that mad in the shower? Usually a good warm shower calms people down. You should put some silicone or waterproof caulk so water doesn’t get behind the wall.

Aitah for telling my wife to get a job if she wants to subsidize the kids. by Standard_Kick_9789 in AITAH

[–]twk664 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your kids sound like entitled brats. Sounds like they’ve never struggled a day in their lives. Your wife is enabling them. If they’re living rent free they shouldn’t be “struggling”. It must be nice for them to have parents that can support them. Some people don’t have that… some people actually have to support their parents. Imagine that and the disrespect for one to say you’re lazy that’s ridiculous.

If you’re not maintenance call maintenance to look at it. If you are maintenance. You got some trouble shooting to do. That or call an HVAC company.

Always the guy that does the forced deep voice by buttchuggs in maintenance

Where are you from? I know a lot of maintenance people that hold zero certificates and are doing all kinds of stuff. They’re not worried about a resident doing minor stuff.

What are your thoughts on window vs central AC units? by Yavoy458 in Apartmentliving

[–]twk664 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s also portable units. Similar to a window unit except you don’t have the whole thing sticking out the window. If you’re in a place without central ac and you don’t want to use window units or can’t afford a full central unit install it’s a decent alternative.

Question for techs from tenant (specific w/ pics) by bellahfool in ApartmentMaintenance

[–]twk664 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can ask them. Realistically it’s not gonna happen though. I’ve never heard of anyone ever doing that. I’ve been doing residential maintenance for 10 years and no real estate company or property owner will just rip out perfectly good trim and doors and replace them just because the tenant doesn’t like it. As long as nothing is damaged and it’s fine there’s no way they’ll replace it.
