Unbelieveable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OP, let you neighbor do his thing and don't loose any sleep over it.
Please tell us what kind of thermostat you have. Is it an old style of with a mercury bulb or an electronic one?
Is there a thread in the pro section yet? We need to talk.

Yes, I started a thread in the pro residential section

I think that anyone clicking that link can see that thread. Better to just post the name of the thread.

Problem probably lies in a spider web of low voltage wires somewhere above the basement where somebody wire nutted the outdoor unit to "G".
An answer without a question is meaningless.

Thanks for your help guys. The problem actually was the green and yellow wires being switched! I watched him fix it; the fan on now works like it's suppose to. I'm still trying to figure out how I never had this problem with the old furnace... Anyway, thanks again!

I suppose that could have happened. But if the Y and G wires were connected properly to everything else and only switched at the stat, there would be other issues. And, I don't see how the system could work properly before if either the Y or the G controls were not wired.

For me, around here the learning never stops!
Thanks for the update. I learned something new today. Now I can call it a day.
It's not rocket-science...
It's electromechanical thermodynamic engineering

On my system G runs the fan at heat speed, Y runs the fan at cool speed. G input is ignored when the furnace gets the Y command.
