LMFAO!!!

Wow! Call me surprised... Thanks for the input from the other side. I recently worked a job where we were the only open shop on the job. A union plumber gave me "the talk" and said he thought all the...

I have to say more because even though I'm half way through my hvac career now, I face a similar delemma. Any owner, boss, or supervisor who makes comittments to you and fails to follow up, while...

Did you ask for a timetable or action plan? Did he give you a rundown on what he needs to see from you in order to make this move happen? Did you clarify how it is to be handled next time the...

Why are we troubleshooting DIY problems? Isn't there a rule specifically prohibiting this?

My experience echos yours... why is it this way? Would a union member please explain it to us? I liken it to certain religions where members go out into the community and witness, their religion is...

That was my laugh of the day! HD referrals make a contractor "good", heehee ha ha hoooo! Get references from people who have actually bought systems from the contractor you are considering... the...

Where, might I ask, can I get one? Or two? LOL :D

I've never encountered a flat-rate HVAC shop that operates like this... Flat rate benefits the tech rarely, the customer sometimes and the owner always doing hvac flat rate.

Doglips, meet Monkeylips...

Someday, if you work really hard in this trade, you'll be greeted at the door by her!

Lack of A/C in France is reflected in the way it's people smell... Has nothing to do with wimps and everything to do with brains.

It's all about CYA... What happens if you get hired, go to a customers home and rip them off? (Not that you would). What happens is, you get arrested and your employer gets sued for hiring you....

Derived from "intuition" it means being able to discern what something does, or is used for, or means just by examining it.

LMFAO! You tease...

Perhaps the first time it was asked of me 20-some years ago... But now I like to keep these facts locked deep inside for those worthy of knowing. Hell, I won't even stay in the same room with an...

Damn, and I thought I was a mental defective... :D

Same guy who writes: "Put back in pants when done in bathroom" on his Johnson.

Just let the old posts friggin die wouldja?

Huh? Here, lets try my other ear...

They smooshed it so it would fit under the clamp! :D

"Everyone who visits the lake gives it a glowing recommendation..."

The "flat rate" determines what the customers pay for the job, not the pay rate or structure of the tech... you are confusing auto repair with HVAC. In auto, the book also determines what the shop...

What does the equipment manufacturer say about your prediciment?

It's done that way to confuse homeowners, fourth graders and engineers... works too. :D

Thank you for pointing out that the BS can happen whether you are a union employee or not... I work for a merit shop and get paid OT after 8 even though the employer doesn't have to, I am gauranteed...

Well, we know it could'nt be the hot brazing rod stubs thrown onto the rubber... because you're saving them in a can of water for later! :D

If not for his letterhead on which is written "I'm a licensed fire prevention contractor and I inspected XX fire extinguishers for XX on XX-XX-XXXX". Laws can make people money in so many different...

Wow Steamer, sure is a good thing we don't give DIYers step-by-step instruction on this site or else your post could be misconstrued...

What's religion got to do with it? Can't anyone "do the right thing" without the bumper stickers, bracelets, or billboards? OOOPs, sorry... You must have seen the "What Would Jerry (Garcia) Do?"...

LMFAO!!!

I haven't had a good spanking in such a long time! :D

Columbus was an AWESOME voyager... little information exists about him in black books however. Any modern day voyagers giving you problems should be reported promptly to the Coast Guard.

That's just great... One part of my job I really like is the detective work to find out just exactly what went wrong. Looks like you've found a few guilty parties on that one!

Fox 25, We do the main building in Dedham too.

Stop, stop... You're killing me!

That's just plain beautiful! Or rather, frickin beautiful! :D

Attaboy Don, you truely are a wise man.

I've been slammed at work, give me a day or two.

We are going to suggest they move the condensers, either that or get the homeless to quit pissing down the exhaust hole... :D Before I cleaned the condensers, the compressors were going out on...

Huh? No way you've got any equipment in there...

You...

Looks like this dude stuck jets on a few wheeled toys... Must be nice to be able to play all day! :D

Basically, respect the relationship... I feel exactly the way you do, early on I tried my damndest to turn over every "bad" customer and it's just not worth it. Let them be a pain-in-the-ass to...

Ahhhhh, the age-old debate... do a site search.

I always called them the Not-So Duracurve... There are people who would argue that these types of closed cracks are not a hazard but to me a crack is a crack no matter what.

Early on in my career I declared everything within a 10 foot radius of my body an *******-free zone. I generally give each ******* a chance to reconsider his or her position before I remove myself....
