Run Mikey run…today we’ve had a hell of a day my apprentice got stung in the face by a wasp 🐝 then he wacked his head on a joist then our iPad had the white screen of death then on the way home our fire extinguisher decides to go off truck full of yellow power, can’t catch a break today. But all out service calls went smooth. Hope you had a better day than we did. Feed the people!

This video reminds me, when I was young, just starting out, working for a small company, the boss says lets go out on a service call at a church. We spent the good portion of a day working on units. The following week (they held back a week pay) when I got my check it was missing quite a few hours. When I enquired I was told that was a 'donation' for the church where we had done the work the previous week. Never will I ever forget that. I still don't know how to categorize that in my mind after many years.

I wouldn't offer to cannibalize unless I thought someone was in immediate danger. All those units and their ductwork are trashed, probably the building is in the same condition. It's regrettable to be sure, but that's the cost of owning a building, it's business. Besides, you touch it, you own it. That's the kinda stuff that is just begging to be an emergency call on Christmas at 12am.

On top of that, half the distribution tubes were cut in half and had 3/8 copper slid over them, pinched, and brazed. On top of that, the other half of the distributor and the drain pan was covered in oil. Oh, and the super duper not so old Copeland lost its valves…I wonder why. That unit was hacked. Your unit is just old 🤣 Also, what’s up with all these kids on your channel that are terrified to work on equipment older than they are? 🤣
