My first wall of shame post

**Shamoke** · 08-07-2012, 02:47 AM

Worked on the roof top unit at a local Chinese restaurant last month. Notice the safe and easy access from the ladder to the upper level of the roof by way of the acrobatic maneuvering around the electrical service. Not sure what is in that tub, might be old cooking oil but I didn't investigate real close. I had to stand in that water to rewire that unit and replace the capacitor. I charged them a hazardous access fee, a hazardous working environment fee and a bit extra to cover my frustration.

so, did you eat there after you finished

Looks exactly like a Chinese restaurant. You found a new lunch hangout at least, one crate for you and one for the rats.

This is exactly why we have higher rates for Chinese restaurants

That's some prime real estate

Yup
Don't you just love the way peanut oil turns into tar on the coils and fans?

They always seem to be grease pits, that oil is a pain to get off anything.

That looks about like the roof of a combo Donut shop/fried chicken/Chinese food place I used to do some service for.
I never ate their food, even the thought eating there makes me throw up in my mouth a little.

When I presented the bill to the woman behind the register it went like this:
Her: "You got ac working, it is cool now."
Me: "Yup, it's working ok now." I hand her the invoice.
Her: "Oh! That's so spensive! You give discount?"
Me: "No."
She paid cash, all in tens. Don't think I'll be eating there after being in their kitchen and on their roof.

Your a brave man using that aluminum ladder there

It was their roof access, already in place but I did make sure I was insulated from it and the far enough away form the power lines. Still charged them extra though.
