My previous house was a new build. I had some weird electrical problems. I called the builder and they sent someone out.
The guy looked at my panel and said, "Oh yeah, I remember this house. We had to fire the electrician who wired your house because he was always showing up high."
I had a new storm door installed through Lowe’s and the contractor they contracted to do it showed up real nice, we talked, then he went off and smoked meth and did the best fucking job I’ve ever seen.
50/50 I guess.
There's high and then there's high on meth.
I had a gas stove installed by Lowe's. The guys that installed it couldn't figure out how to get the gas to stop leaking, but wouldn't admit they had no idea what they were doing. They told me I would have to turn the gas valve off at the connection when I wasn't using the stove
I stopped trying to explain and let them leave, because I was over it. Installed the connection myself, I was just happy I didn't have to move it or the old one
I did call Lowe's and let them know about it though, so that those guys wouldn't inadvertently kill someone with their installations
50/50 for sure lol
Just install a barbeque lighter near the leak and set a timer to regularly light it and just flare off anything that has leaked since the previous flare. Then, when rebuilding after the fire, add a pressure sensor to the new setup that reduces the interval if the pressure increases beyond what it was when the interval was first calibrated.
Caught me off guard, lmao.
Yeah that seems like a minor problem lol
In the old days of town gas this would actually kill everybody since that stuff was just hydrogen mixed with carbon monoxide.
Listen if all you're doing is storm door build outs you get pretty good at it even when you're smoking meth.
Actually I’m misremembering, he did the front door as well as the storm door.
Installed new trim and repaired some exterior wood rot he found and fixed the trim above the door so it would stop leaking lmao.
All those things were supposed to be extra charge but he just did them and that was that.
Listen if all you're doing is storm door build outs you get pretty good at it ~~even~~ especially when you're smoking meth.
I knew a man who hung drywall, he hung it mighty quick.
Primus sucks
I think they're pretty good actually!
I bought a fridge from Lowe's and one of the delivery guys asked to use my bathroom. When I went in there later, he had basically managed to pee on the floor instead of in the toilet. I'm a bit of a "tinkler sprinkler" myself but this was next level.
I feel like they shouldn't charge (heh) you for it
