About 4 years ago I started maintenance and started watching your videos they really helped. But I decided to open my own business 2 years strong 💪. Keep posting videos I love em

[@LexVance]

Awesome! Thank you so much for watching, Jack!

[@ncooty]

Man, you're worth your weight in gold to a complex like that.

[@LexVance]

Thank you so much for watching!

I used to watch your videos back then and i stopped doing maintenance bc i joined the military i plan on voming back to it, may be a simple job but i got passion, its peoples homes and it feels good to help and fix stuff, even if its their temporary homes. Nice to join back in your vids. Happy holidays!

[@LexVance]

Thank you so much for watching!

Malco makes a nice reversible driver head: 1/4" and 5/16". It's nice when tools are multi-functional.

[@LexVance]

Right on!

[@anthonymaintenance]

Nice video lex. My property the dishwashers are hard wired in the from the wall. It's kind of a pain to wire underneath the dishwasher but it is what it is

[@LexVance]

Thank you so much for watching, Anthony!

I do everything I can in the apartment before lunch and if I need parts I grab them on my way back from lunch

I sabotage turns sometimes because of my techs who claim “it’s done” and write it on their inspection sheet. Like you said touch everything that way it eliminates simple fixes as most of them are.

[@LexVance]

When the resident moves in, the tech who turned it has to do their move in inspection. If they turned it poorly and the inspection sheet is a mile long, they'll learn to do it right afterwards. Thank you so much for watching!

[@ApartmentMaintenancePOV]

Hey Lex awesome video as always. I do the same exact thing for my turns. I start at the front door and work my way to the right up and down until I end up at the front door again.

[@LexVance]

Good to hear from you, Mike! Happy New Year! Thank you so much for watching!

Im left handed, but still do the right turn to check everything. I also take an outlet tester with me and knock them out in the process. Makes life easier and saves a little time. I know you were just doing examples, but when checking light under microwave, also check microwave itself, fan also. I absolutely love having outlets in the dishwasher area. One of the main reason for that is, sometimes the electrical wiring is to short to fully pull the dishwasher out. Since we have a company that we order dishwashers from, and they install them, it makes life easier for them There is NOTHING wrong with using Ryobi tools. They're cheap(ish). They work. They're decently reliable. Another good and informative video. Keep them going, please. Oh, when you changed the dishwasher motor, did you use the old solenoid or did the new motor come with it?

[@LexVance]

The new solenoid comes on the new motor. Thank you so much for watching!

[@bruce8572]

Nice job BIG DOG!!!

[@LexVance]

Thank you so much for watching!

[@chris76-01]

Happy new year 👋 What ended up being wrong with that old motor?

[@LexVance]

It was bad. Replaced. Thank you so much for watching and happy New Year!

[@charlesmcadory8286]

I use what you said and I will put blue tape on the things I have written down.

[@LexVance]

Thank you so much for watching!

[@jason-ge5nr]

lolz. there is no way you can turn a public housing apartment without a list. A tech has to itemize holes in drywall by the room. The list is just for remembering what to grab and put on the truck after lunch. You touch everything to make sure its not broke. We touch everything to make sure it is; we are not the same. Happy new year to you and your ryobi.

[@LexVance]

Thank you so much for watching!

[@galigalindo6839]

Hey lex. I have an issue with furndown heat won’t shut off. I replaced heat sequencer and board and still taking long to shutdown or stay on I been with this like 3 days in my apartment work. Thanks always

[@LexVance]

I'd need to be there for this head scratcher. 🤔 Maybe thermostat is bad?

[@ncooty]

It's kind of funny that you start by wiping your gloves on the toilet, then touch everything else. I guess the cleaners are good. :)

[@LexVance]

Yep. Everything gets sanitized by cleaners before move in. Thank you so much for watching!

[@ChingusTheOneAndOnly]

How are the W/O assigned ? love your videos man

[@LexVance]

We get them through the Entrata app now. No names assigned. I just grab and go no matter what it is and hope others on my property will do the same. Thank you so much for watching!

[@Earth_to_Kensho...ComeInKensho]

You're very thorough. Do you work for a company or do you work as a contractor in property maintenance? Just curious. I have a question regarding your affiliate links. If I purchase a few items you're promoting and I purchase other items you're not promoting will you get credit for items I purchase you didn't promote? I'm asking because I've been putting off buying a process meter and a few hand tools and you're promoting a few cool items I never considered buying. . I appreciate your video. Good job!

[@LexVance]

Yes, the affiliate links help support the channel. I'm able to get new equipment for filming and editing. Thank you so much for watching!

[@Earth_to_Kensho...ComeInKensho]

@@LexVance Do you operate as a property maintenance company or are you an employee for a company that owns properties? I'm interested in developing a property maintenance company. Start off maintaining single and multi residential and eventually scale it to commercial buildings/properties. My main skill is refrigeration but I was a rough frame carpenter for about 7 years prior but my refrigeration background led to getting involved in facility maintenance which led to developing other various skills. The problem is I don't have the capital to take on large building maintenance contracts but I can jump right into residential property maintenance and repair and that's why I'm asking what your status is. It's pretty clear you've got skills so I was just wondering if you work for yourself or you're a skilled employee.

[@cilopez155]

Hard starts are designed to fail to protect the rest of the system, so it did its job. Also why you replace the whole thing. Happy new year big dawg!

[@LexVance]

Happy New Year, skid! Thank you so much for watching!

[@kikezurek34]

How much you get paid a hour

[@LexVance]

$25. Thank you so much for watching!

I can’t imagine why contractors would install a heat pump in Florida. Enjoy the video!

[@UnbornHeart2020]

how does one become a maintenance tech for an apartment complex? do you get to live on site or do you have to commute there?

[@LexVance]

Just apply and get hired. The industry needs people right now. You can live onsite if you choose. Some give free apartments or 50% off rent.

[@UnbornHeart2020]

@@LexVance i live in Tn, so the only ones I know of are not really that "safe" but ill look around, thanks for the info

[@UnbornHeart2020]

[@LexVance]

I live in Tallahassee Florida and I don't own the company so you would get placed on a property they chose.
