Battle of the vacuums
Don't you love being downstairs in a mechanical room, listening intently to a burner. Then all of a sudden the central vac comes roaring on. Even worse for us oil burner guys when your ramming the old sootmaster in and out of a furnace or boiler and the central vac comes on. The noise is just intense. Often im tempted to unplugg the bloody thing but im too polite.

Along the same lines Slo.
So last week, I am sweating my family jewels off installing a new A/C condensor on the sunny side of this very large house. It is 2:00 pm. Sun beating down on my bald head. I have wedged myself into this inside corner behind the shrubs to braze the lineset and bam, the lady turns on the clothes dryer (whose vent is 8' from my bald head). I give it a try but I am about to burst into flames.
I politely ask her to turn off the dryer for a few minutes while I am working in the corner.
She said, "They will be done soon. You should be fine." F*****ing rich people.
I went to the basement. Threw the breaker for the dryer and went back to finish my brazing job. When I was done, I threw the breaker back on.
Some days I just can't take it anymore.

Or how about...
When you're in the basement with your head between the joist and Little Johny decides that it's time to imitate Superman and jumps off the top bunk right onto the floor above your head. Mommy thinks it's so cute and encourages him to continue doing it for the next 30 minutes until the pictures begin to fall off the wall. All this begins at the very moment you light off your torch to sweat lines for their boiler replacement because you're trying to get their heat back on when it's 20* outside.
People can be so considerate.

You can choose to do what you want, but you cannot choose the consequences.

Mom will get tired of listening to little Johny and tell him to go watch what your doing in the basement...Let's get the million question's started as your trying to do the layout to the boiler..or wiring in the controls..:)

Little helpers
My favorite is the kid that picks through your tool bag when your back is turned. I know I put my wrench here somewhere. Where is my screwdriver? Hey give that back!.....
