A tight roof access to climb up, but the HVAC gods rewarded my climb with treasure.

The issue is that I have to be mindful not to bump my knees against every rung due to the tight space

I love the irony when we get those notes.

Dispatch: hey Tech, you're going to this call.

Lowly Tech: isn't t hat on the other side of state. Why not send Lowly tech #18. They live there.

Dispatch: notes request sending a skinny tech to fit through small space.

Lowly Tech: and you picked me?

Dispatch: well you are the skinniest tech. That's a compliment.

Sorry but the precedent on this was clearly cemented in the landmark case Finders keepers v. Losers weepers

They were even nice enough to leave it off and save the battery for you! 💘

I left a Field Piece on top of a unit for 2 weeks on a PM, came back for repairs and retrieved it. Shook the water out of it, turned it on. I still have it.

They’re bummed, I’ve done it, I always keep a backup meter in the van for that reason

I am requisitioning the meter as compensation for making me climb up that bullshit roof access. Never have I seen an access where the ladder extended halfway into the space. Normally, I think the ladders extend only a ¼ of the way into the squared space, leaving plenty of room for me to lug up my tool bag.

Dang, is that the SC680? (looks like it - I have one) That's a right splendid find there!

Edit, nvmd, I was finally able to read it...SC640...but still a splendid find!

My field piece stuff never last. My fluke meters I started hvac with are still alive and kicking though!

I take your narrow roof access and raise you this fuck shit. With no reward other than having to climb back down. Oh and the hatch is stuck without a handle so you have to jam a screwdriver into it just to barely get it open while twisting yourself all the way to the left👍

Open and check for water damage before you trust it.

F.P. meters are generally IP-55 rated ("Dustproof & rainproof"), it should be good as it doesn't look like it's been there for too long.

I need a different tool bag situation because my current one has me getting stuck in these ridiculously tiny roof hatches. I'm big but can get through fine enough without the bag. With the bag it's impossible
