    This is the solenoid that was delivered last week to Louisiana. Was supposed to be here today, they don't even know where it is.

    Grand Rapids must be where all the packages get sent that get loaded wrong.

    I can only guess it is a scanner reading incorrect as everything is by the barcode once it enters the system.

    I worked as an installer for a heating and air company for two years when I got out of high school in 1994-95, I hated it and don't miss it one bit!!!!

    Maybe it was the company you worked for.

    Then maybe all you did was grunt work never got into the trouble shooting of electrical and mechanical problems

    I was taught all the fun stuff and soaked it up like a sponge

    A early job I did not care for was concrete pushing wheel barrows of concrete gets old the pumps were in the early days and only the biggest companies had them.

    I did grunt work, was a helper. Didn't care to learn the diagnosis part of it. I did learn a lot though and enjoyed the people I worked with. My knees couldn't take crawling in the crawl spaces and attics. I've had knee problems from early on.

    Things were going smooth yesterday , i had the outdoor unit set , welded and wired in 2hours. Problems came along on the indoor unit. It was a tight fit . We had to remove the closet door and trim to fit it in there , then ride to Tractor Supply to get some trim nails.

    Nothing like crawling around attics with fiberglass insulation running duct work with the temperature 100 plus.

    I always asked why not do this in the winter.

    i always refer to people like that as askholes. They want an answer they agree with, not the right one that’ll fix what they’re working on.

    Never heard that before, I like it :rofl:

    I've always been the kind of person, tell me what you want and I'll make it happen.

    I want to tell people who tell me how to do something "if you know how to do it, why are you asking me?" :D

    Don't get me wrong, if I don't know I will ask for help.

    To me that is a different class of people even worse.

    They keep asking the same question to everyone they can hoping to get the answer they want.
