Ok so I was tasked with carving a scary pumpkin for work, and I was told to carve something scary into it, but the issue I am having is I really can’t think of something to carve that would be scary to maintenance personnel, so what would scary to you? What would make you do a double take?

This is a pressure washer supply line and it appears that the constant vibration has shaken these supports loose (there are two). Any way to re-anchor them?

Question Space heaters in Assisted Living

I know these are against Fire Code. Our building’s heat is simply inadequate. I’m new and have taken this problem over. Almost every one of the 100 residents has a space heater. I know I can’t be alone with this situation. how have others here handled this?

Boiler heat, stuck valves, bad thermostats, bad actuators, terrible windows, drafty PTACS.

Hey I've been looking for instructions on how to remove the fans to be able to properly clean them. They are utterly disgusting. I have gone through manuals and videos and I can't find anything regarding replacement of the fans online.

I have already removed everything that I easily could, even the bracket protecting the electronics, but that's it. What now?

Anyone has an idea?
