The phone replaces everything these days.
I am about to spend a stupid amount of money getting my HVAC replaced. The first guy who came out to get info for the estimate wandered around in the attic using his phone as a light.
After the bid came in I asked some questions that the supervisor was not comfortable answering without a better understanding of the problems my current system has.
He and a second supervisor came out and were about to head for the attic again. As they were about to head up the stairs, I said “If all you have is a phone, here use this” And handed them a C8G cranked up most of the way.
I could tell they actually could get a look at the dim recesses of the system on the far side of the house. Where there was no easy access. Something that would not have happened using a phone.
These guys make a hefty profit off doing installs. You would think that spending a paltry sum on a decent light would be part of the cost of doing business.
This mirrors the Sudden-link supervisor and helper who came to install the cable. Portable drill, 2 bits, phone for light, cable stripper/crimper, fish tape, and well that’s it. I asked if they didn’t have a drywall saw. The Super said he loaned his to someone. Real confidence builders.
During a remodel the drywall dust was so thick you couldn’t see across the room (well almost). I turned on my DYI dust filter system and the air was clear in 10 minutes. All the guys and the contractor were impressed. I showed them how to make one out of an old AC blower and some 4” thick filters. Cost about $60. Saw them a month later at another job. Filter? Naaa, just keep breathing that nasty shit and keep on sanding.
All the Best,
Jeff
