Wirlpool gas water heaters have left hand threads on their thermocouple and guess what nobody makes a left hand thermpcouple. I have a conversion kit coming overnited from wirpool.
that's my point, he said nobody makes itHARRY304E said:Probably the factory..
Is this a new machine that has never ran?Mr Rewire said:It was a factory mistake Wirlpool designed their themocouple to be left hand thread but nobody made a replacement that was left hand thread so the made a conversion kit.
Why is an electrician installing a gas water heater?Mr Rewire said:They give you the adapter kit for free just finished installing it.
Only a failing electrician would do plumbing, and I'm sure he doesn't have a gas or plumbing license...HackWork said:To make money and please a customer...?
That's a lame and ignorant statement.Only a failing electrician would do plumbing
Generally speaking, no. :laughing:An electrician does not do plumbing.
And if you add fabrication, pipe fitting, millright service, operations, and just general GC'ing, it equals even more $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.Actually, plumbing + electrical + HVAC = $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Don't limit yourself get out there and get the know how and licenses and put the hacks and lazy people to shame.
Gotcha....that's not so bad.Mr Rewire said:I wasn't installing a gas water heater I was called to replace a bad thermocouple.
Nope, its called doing anything you can to make money. Which makes a statement of how well your electrical business is going...HackWork said:When someone is "filling in their time" by doing work which pays they're rate, that's called contracting.
My mechanical abilities are not lacking, my electrical business is actually busyHackWork said:Again, that is completely wrong. Your generalizations are ignorant and baseless.
Just because your mechanical abilities are lacking, it doesn't mean that other people's are as well. There are plenty of people here who do HVAC, plumbing, etc. as well as electric.
Multi licensing is a totally different animal, and VERY respectable. Different thing from doing "whatever" to stay busy. Male prostituting to gays would suit hackwork much betterPeter D said:Marc Shunk does HVAC/R work in addition to electrical work. He doesn't hardly mention it, but he's a multi-trade guy himself.
Who cares if "the bucket truck is not supporting itself doing electrical work."? What is the difference? As long as you are getting the rate that you would charge for electrical work (or more maybe) what does it matter? How is increasing billable hours a bad thing?I understand where Macs comming from its like using your bucket truck to trim trees. You are making money but the bucket truck is not supporting itself doing electrical work.
Amen...Mr Rewire said:I understand where Macs comming from its like using your bucket truck to trim trees. You are making money but the bucket truck is not supporting itself doing electrical work. If your business is just electrical then you should be focused on electrical work. If you are doing non electrical work then you have lost your focus and should re evaluate the business plan.
HackWork said:and the customer asks if you'll change her kitchen faucet and put a new lock on her front door, what would be the problem with getting those extra hours on the same job?
If you want to give away work, then that is fine. Not everyone is so generous. The point is simply that taking on work outside of the normal scope of "electric" can be profitable and is certainly NOT the sign of a failing company, as you so ignorantly put it.Here's how I work when that happens, I say sure, I'll get that taken care of that for you. Then I walk outside, call an appropriate friend for whatever task it is, and give them the job. And guess what? They do the same for me.
At least I'm not fat and lying about it on the internet. :thumbup:I guess you're just as much of a douches in person as on here
At least I know you truly don't know me like you say.check the date encoding on this pic. I'm 4% bodyfat, with a sixpack and I'm stronger now than ever.

Posted a month earlier:WTF? I'm 5'9" and 4% body fat. I have a six pack. You don't know me.
4% body fat is bodybuilder level, cutting before a show, 8 hours a day of working out. Even in the picture you posted above, you can see all the fat covering your arm and chest muscles. Good shape, yes. 4%, NO.This is me hanging some lights, I let myself go a little.

You want to keep this little charade up, that is fine with me. Every time you go at me I will bite back. Or you can act like an adult and have a normal conversation, it's your choice.

Since we are all putting pictures of ourselfs I'll post mine.
