Technically I don't think he can pay for your car, nor will you be properly covered on insurance. You will be using it for a business, but not your own business, it will be his business, which means...

Thanks for the info. My old JB 7 cfm (DV-200N) will pull 19-20 with fresh oil, and my old JB 5 cfm (DV-142N) pulls down to 16 microns with fresh oil. The 5 cfm has been my backup for the last 15...
I'm curious as to when you guys replace your pumps? I've been using the same JB 7 cfm for the last 20 years or so, and I still have my original JB 5 cfm. Granted I change the oil regularly, and I...
Not sure you can go wrong with anyone of them. Might even be able to fine a nice used one. If treated right, I don't think you can wear a brake out. I've had my little 4 ft Jet now for 22 years.
Personally I would look into trade schools first. I don't know what it is like in Canada, but some of the companies around here don't do so well teaching apprentices. I think unions might be the...
My pay is around $80,000 in residential, and I'm not a sales tech. I'm self employed;)
Personally I'm just a one man band, so the only other people I work with are usually electricians or plumbers, and get along well with them, and they seem to enjoy their work, and usually bring me...
Work life balance in HVAC/R is no different then any other career. If you want a balanced life it is up to you. If you want a serious relationship/family then that is also up do you. Do you have to...
I had this just happen on me last week. The only difference was they didn't use any sealant, just 4 screws per duct. It all ripped apart pretty easy. The curb ended up being just a wood frame with...
Looks awesome. Could you show a little more on how you have it outfitted. Also how much does it weigh, mileage, and how do you like the eco diesel.
Aluminum Ridgid for me. Started out with Ridgid steel, and then upgraded to the aluminum 15 years ago. Most of my work is 1" or less, but thanks to the snow load this year I do have some 1-1/4" and...
What you don't see and one of the reasons for the bunk is underneath it is all my portable typewriters. LOL! I do have a nice laptop with a great program for writers on it. For the first draft...
I confess, my new office. The only difference is I haven't had time to actually use it yet, but I am hopeful.

I love the sound of all old diesels. I sometimes just watch youtube videos to hear them run. Yeah, I know I'm crazy, but I can't get certified.
That's awesome, and worth keeping.
What am I see? Did he attach the lines without taking out the plug or something.
Being a small time shop with no employees I might not be the best person to give advice.
For me personally I have a different way for looking for work, or at least keeping up with what is...
I like it, I like it. :)
I guess it depends on your location some, and when your busy season starts. For me I planned my leap 21 years ago for May at the start of our A/C season.
As far as advertising I would really look...
LOL!
You need to get the numbers now, and prevent a problem. It is a lot cheaper, and easier to fix now. No body likes cleaning up soot. I too am wondering if the boiler just isn't getting used enough,...
This is why I don't say I've seen it all anymore, because every time I think I do, you guys find something else new for me.
I've kind of gone through the same thing as you, except I was doing 65 mph. I had it all planned out for a Toyota Tacoma with a shell, but insurance was slow to come up with the money so I ended up...
HP 4500 series seems to work just fine for me. I use it or did with my Ipad, and was able to use the air port to print. Nothing else was needed except for a inverter, and I use a cheap one that plugs...
First off as always it looks awesome. I'm curious as to where you learned to make that return transition, and how long it took you to make it? My last question is very simple, WHO DO YOU HAVE TO KILL...
Jobs like this really piss me off, sorry. You have all that nice new shiny duct work, and then someone will come and cover it all up with ugly drywall. That's why I don't new construction any more ;)...
Maybe I'm an idiot, but I don't see the big deal. I find a little electricity is ten times better then caffeine to wake a person/me up. Plus I find making a couple of sparks when the customer is...
I agree with Chops. A very large part of business is about relationships. I know a lot of my business is because of that, and I have had customers follow me after I left the last company I worked...
Thanks.
Following.
I love the Thorogood, but the only way I can get any boot to hold up is to put 'Tuff Toe" on them. I'm kneeling so much, that I where the tops out first.
I have two vacuums just like that, but the cans are rusted out, and since I went over to a Fien vacuum, and have never looked back.
Since I have duct cleaning equipment, I would have just used...
I can't think of anything PG to say.
I used to use a bag similar to that, and really liked it. I thought someone made a bag like that with leather as well?
Also I would like to see pictures of the guy's tool boxes and how they have...
When I hit 40 I was starting to wonder about how long I could handle this. This spring I turn 49 and since I stopped doing major installs for new construction, or major remodels, and use a kneeling...
Looks good to me.
I use the Veto OT-LC. I like an open bag style. I've also used the CLC bags and didn't really have any complaints with it. I do like the Veto with the hard shell bottom especially with all of the...
I just go by feel, and will run a little tight because I never get a chance to go back and tighten after it's run a little bit. Basically set it, and come back in a couple of years to replaced it...
It's been almost 2 weeks since I suggested you talk to contractor, and you still haven't. It sounds like you are on a mission to crucify the contractor and I have to wonder why you hired them to...
Believe it or not, small farming town, Ontario, Oregon. Since the prison opened up 20 years ago, the gangs have moved in following there homies in prison. I sure wish they were better shots. We would...
Nice work.
I haven't had anything stolen yet, but I did have one of my condenser units involved in a drive by shooting. Luckily it was just a little 22, went right through the coil but missed the freon line,...
I had a similar customer, only with gas heat, and yeah the heat exchanger had to be replaced after 10 years. She past away a couple of years ago. I hate loosing a customer that way :(
I have learned the same thing and just amazes me each time. I have also found that the nicer homes seemed to be the worst at paying.
My question is have you talked with the owner of the company about this?
I cut the end of a cord off and added a couple of large alligator clips so I can just hook them on one side of the disconnect and the other to the ground. Saved me a many of times from running a long...
It really depends on the situation for me. A week ago I declined mainly because the home really looked like they needed the money more then me, and I felt bad because the job took longer then it...
My sincerest condolences.
Is that a freeze break, or did it just burst? If freeze, then you have a good excuse to get a heated garage ;)
I feel your pain though on a Sunday. I'm watching the record snow fall, and hoping...
It looks like True RMS like Vin said. Both meters are no longer made. It seems to do everything I need, and still wont die. It's well used.
