So I have had two very strange occurances with my job the past couple of weeks and can't seem to figure it out. Thought I would share this. Probably very boring for most of you, but I am finding these two situations very strange to me.

I am a self-employed plumber and I have never had these two things happen to me before in this way.

1st
I was scheduled to relocate a water heater for a remodel project last week. I arrived to find the existing water heater had failed that morning. Now water heaters go out all the time, but to have one go out on the morning your scheduled to arrive has never happened to me in 14yrs.
So I was basically able to be a shining star for the GC (general contractor) that I do a ton of work for. I was able to get them a new water heater installed in a matter of a couple hours of it failing.

2nd
I had a final inspection for a home I did today. While I was walking through the project with the inspector the sewer decided to back up. Once again, sewers back up in homes all the time. But to have one literally back up while your at the home is a first for me.
Once again, I was able to make the GC(same GC, different project)look like he had the perfect sub-contractor by getting the problem solved within an hour of ithappening.

So the GC that I was working for on both projects asked me how its possible that I have been on site for both of these emergency's. I don't have an answer for this.

I know this means absolutly nothing to most of you, but this has me thinking. Should I be going to the casino to see if I have some kind of good luck going on? Or has this just been a case of dumb luck?

 

Tulalip? Ill drive...[sm=gears.gif]

 

That's like a SWAT team walking into a robbery while cashing their checks

Pretty funny though, lol.

So you're a plumber, huh? What's yer opinion on those in-line water heaters? Looks/sounds sweet!

 

Shoot!!! Lotto time as well!!!!

And "when/if" you win maybe you can help me out a little for suggesting the lotto =]

 

The only problem I have with them is the flow rate. They have to slow down the waterflow in order to get the desired temperature. They work great in warmer climates where the inlet water temperature is warmer thus taking less time to get the desired temperature on the outlet side.

Otherwise its a great product.

 

i have a bosch tankless heater,greatest thing since sliced bread.

 

Ha, that's gotta be nice. Karma works in mysterious ways

 

I say spend a few bucks on the loto. Sometimes like just works that way. Right place at the right time i guess.

Ok so why does my hot water tank make rumbleing noises when I first turn on the hot water?

 

Could be a multiple of different things. PM me if it is a real concern for you and we can get it figured out.

 

Seems to me that the GC is the lucky one so to say. I would give him a couple bucks and have him buy lotto tickets while you stand in line with him lol
