A bucket of jet fuel?
Yeah this fuel pump/tank thing is in the process of being repaired and upgraded up to their current spec. It's been sitting there rusting away for years. They recently sandblasted and repainted the whole thing, there is some work to do on the venting, plumbing, hoses, electrical, etc. The bucket was there catching drips from a leaky valve or something.A bucket of jet fuel?
I see. Sounds like a miserable day.Yeah this fuel pump/tank thing is in the process of being repaired and upgraded up to their current spec. It's been sitting there rusting away for years.

I had a guy spend 5 minutes looking up part numbers for the steel city boxes they sell. I ended up taking out my phone, downloading the catalog, and reading the part numbers to him. Real toughies like 3 1/2" deep switch boxes with mc clamps (cx), 1/2 and 3/4" 1 gang plaster rings, and 4 11/16 boxes with 1/2 and 3/4" knockouts. The worst part was his manager was sitting at a desk behind him making cold calls. Plus, to add insult to injury, the SOB counter guy was wearing god damn sweatpants, and wore the same pair the next day!Yeah that's the god damned truth.
The other day I went in there looking for a breaker.
"I need a 3-pole 20 amp Eaton BAB breaker."
The guy goes out and comes back with a 2-pole 20 amp.
"No, I need a 3-pole."
"Oh my bad." Then he comes back a regular BR style 3-pole 20.
"No dude, the bolt to bus one. Jesus ****ing Christ."
He finally got it right but geez.
Have you ever removed a cover off of an air handler in a hot attic? It cools the attic off real quick!:laughing:Awesome. :laughing:
I was working in an attic most of yesterday that must have been 114 degrees and soooper humid, and whenever I went down to the main floor getting reno'd I would go around and ask people if I could borrow a sweatshirt since I was getting cold up there, as sweat wad running off of me. Everyone just told me I was a lunatic for working up there, and I didn't get a single high five or a sweatshirt.![]()
I was piping the feeds to the HVAC units, and the duct work isn't in yet, so it wouldn't have worked. :laughing:Have you ever removed a cover off of an air handler in a hot attic? It cools the attic off real quick!:laughing:
That's what I do when I can't get waited on at Home Depot...get on a ladder and start pulling stock out of the overhead.I just say I'm gonna go pick my own stock and start walking around until someone yells at me.
I don't care if I've never been here before, I can still do a better job than you, go back to licking the remains of Aunt Bethany.
Let's hear some more cremation oven and ash grinder entries.Dead people dust...
LOL, but ugh...
