It has been years since I have posted, but I am starting a new job back in HVAC tomorrow.

I had a job for 3 & 1/2 to 4 years working with automatic doors.

My user name "Haustek" implies...

Hi
I've been away for a while.
I was a certified contractor in Alabama for years.
I went into the automatic door business about three years ago, and can't even spell HVAC anymore.
I recently...

Man, when you find out how to do that, let me know.

I think they all do that. Just pretend that You're Jimi Hendrix & say "Yeah, sorry 'bout that, we're jus' gonna play somethin'..."

That's where I'm looking... Goodman, ICP, Emerson Climate Technologies - There has to be something. I'm at a disadvantage because I can't relocate right now; but I could commute in southern middle...

Yeah, you're right about that! MBA's have a worse rep than Lawyers right now. As far as auto mechanics, I am already a HVAC Mechanical Contractor working part-time as a one-man shop operation (in my...

Starting your own company is a lot more difficult than people think. I think I'll just stay with what I've got & keep sending out resumes.

I am a Maintenance Technician and (currently inactive) Mechanical Contractor who has educated myself out of a job. Well, not really-I'm still working, but am ready to take my career to the next...

Let him back in! Let the FLAMING begin!

BobDIY has GOT to be a troll! A thread like this is bound to get people worked up.
It is kind of funny, though.

Reply, Bob? Bob? Are you out there?

I'm w'you, man! Keep fighting.

Used to smoke a pack (+-) a day.I quit with the Nicoret gum in '95 after more than twenty years. I had a short relapse in 1999-2000 & quit for good after that.
Quitting cigarettes is the BEST thing...

It takes about 45 min./lb. - until an internal temp of 165 degreesF at the innermost part of the thigh & wing, as well as in the thickest part of the breast.
Give yourself 8-9 hrs. I wanted to sleep...

Thanksgiving Possum?:D

I have a turkey fryer, but I've never fried a turkey in it! I use it for some danm good chicken wings, though - it'll cook 50 - 60 at a time. I have also fried cornish game hens in it, you can do 4-5...

No, were not cooking the cat!:D

I have been smoking the bird every year now, since 2005.
Last year the in-laws wanted to eat around 2pm & I didn't start the turkey until 6am, so it was a little under-done. This year we have...

Hey, it only took a few years to get my post count this high!:D
Welcome to the forum!

I have a digital also (Fieldpiece accessory) & it is accurate as long as I keep a good battery in it.
I also agree that + or - 3% probably doesn't make that much difference with R.H. I was just...

I have two sling psychrometers; both are Bacharach, one has mercury thermometers & the other is red spirit filled. The readings I get under identical conditions vary by 3 - 5 degrees F for wet-bulb...

I started some small fires while soldering!:D

I had three. Got two right.

Hot customers are good!:D

Doesn't it feel good to unburden yourself? It's a cleansing process. Open up, we're all friends here.
Sometimes, I listen to old 10cc albums when nobody's around.

I don't see a problem with that.

I FEEL your pain, man!

It's winter down there isn't it? From what we hear, it is always 110+ degrees F down there. I'm sure that isn't always the case.

I thought I made a mistake once, but I was wrong.

One time, I was drunk & jumped out a safety. Wait... that was at my own house, so it's OK...I think... maybe go check that out.

You NEED one now!

At least you don't play golf with your toilet.

Thanks for sharing.:)

Warning: Disturbing Mental Image! (BTW, I'm sitting around in my underwear!:eek:) Sorry, TMI.

It's 2:30 Saturday afternoon, I had a residential attic job this morning. I started drinking Vodka & Ginger Ale at 12:00 once I got back to the house. I probably have to catch up a lot! I'm working...

Our cat thinks that anything new brought into the house is for her.

It depends on what your definition of "good" is... & what your definition of "Beer" is... & what your definition of "is" is.:D

I have a window unit in my bedroom.:o

What's your secret? Come on, get it off your chest.:D

85% - I missed three, & one was because I did not read the question close enough.

When I first thought about starting my own HVAC business, it seemed like a great idea! I can set my own hours, work for myself, & keep all of that big money my boss makes from my labor for myself!
...

I heard that story on the radio on my way to work the other day. I was eating a BLT that I picked up on my way in.:eek:

Fluke, Fieldpiece (or Ideal) are both good. Don't buy a UEI.

test again

Been there, Done that, Didn't even get a T-Shirt.
It gets better.
Just take care of yourself.

Oh, Yeah... Back on topic, JOHNNY WINTER!

Terry Kath with Chicago was another one.[/QUOTE]

Terry Kath was one of the best guitarists ever! Listen to the "Live at the Carnagie Hall" release & you'll hear some of the best guitar work ever!...

I'll second that!

Anyway, I'm in Huntsville & have never heard of Career Training Institute. There is a real good training program in Huntsville called NARS, though.

I bet that cleaning cooling towers out there is a real b!tch! We have pidgeons here also, but nothing like that!:eek:

The more I see your WOS posts, I will not consider working in AZ. I may retire there, but even if HVAC work is plentiful, I'll never even mention what I do for a living.
BTW, I lived in Yuma for 4...

The engineer I spoke with said that, before system connections are made, the black iron pipe should be flushed with a high velocity source (ie. fire hose) for at least two days in each direction. If...
