    Use membrane with the mastic. You could use duckboard too . A case of 1 inch duckboard has six sheets in it and varies in price of about $20 a sheet or more like the prices went up. The mesh membrane holds the mastic it has a little glue on it with your spray glued in place and the mesh will hold the mastic to whatever you put it to thanks Jerry

    When you charged with R22B did you just add it in since it was so low anyways?
    Also what’s the average time it takes you to complete a call? Not at repair but troubleshooting.
    I am a field tech and I want to be more efficient running calls any advise.

    • @donaldpainter956
      @donaldpainter956 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I've been a service technician for 25 years and did install and fabrication for 13 years before that and the goal I set is when I go on a call when I start a trouble shooting is to find the problem in 15 minutes or less but when I find the problem bad capicater or compressor or motor whatever is to make sure that's the only problem I've been doing it so long I can most of the time see what the unit is doing and know what is wrong.But that comes with experience like my diagnostics bag only weighs 5 pounds that in itself helps out

    Your business and my business is almost identical, so I am not going to say take care of your health and hire someone (although that is the right way) I realize it is not that simple. It will be two years this August when I had my heart attack, which brought my business to a complete stand still for 6 months (since I had to have open heart bypass surgery), no revenue and enormous medical expenses. Since then I am still a one man operation

      I’m a one man show also, and I find that a lot less stressful not dealing with headaches of babysitting helpers and just doing my own thing everyday.by myself. You do have to work a little harder physically though and get a little creative when doing installs alone. I wouldn’t have it any other way though. There are certain jobs that I flat out turn down, like doing a complete reduct job in the summer in an attic. If they want it done I tell them They’ll have to wait till wintertime.

      Doctors are not permitted to voice vaccine concerns per most state medical boards.

Good luck getting advice from a doctor!
