I started doing maintenance a little over a month ago and really appreciate your videos. I hope you're doing well good sir and hope you continue to create content
Man i hate it when the time comes to have to saw a sink apart because you've exhausted all other options, I've been their, with that and a garbage disposal!!
I learned the saw'zall trick about 20 years ago at my first apt maintenance gig. Property was 50 years old and it was almost 100 percent necessary to remove the kitchen faucets by cutting them out. I don't run into this issue that much anymore but don't hesitate a bit if I can't get it loose within a few minutes :)
Just found this channel and want to ask a question: I live in an apartment that has a main lug panel (no main breaker in the panel). There is also no breaker to cut the power between the panel and the meter. It is not a split bus panel; so, to cut power to the apartment would require flipping 16 different breakers. In addition, the breaker box lists that it was made by “I-T-E circuit breaker company, Walker division”. On doing some research, this was the name I-T-E used after about 1955 (when they took over Walker electrical company) but before 1968 (when they merged with Imperial-Eastman and changed the name to I-T-E Imperial). This means that today in 2023, the panel box is anywhere from 54 to 67 years old. I have spoken with the manager about the panel and they insist that I don’t know what I am talking about. They say the panel has to have a main disconnect and can’t be as old as I am saying. However, they won’t even send the maintenance man to look at the panel, let alone an electrician. Should I be concerned?
I would love to think that someone up there is calculating all of that - but in my company and every one I’ve worked for I his isn’t the case. We can’t even get techs and supervisors to close out work orders when they finish the work, let alone put in the correct times
