Shop Time - Hot Standby.

Holy crap!
Goes to show that hoarders come in all flavors.
 
All I can tell yo u is, when I go the auction is going to be off the hook (as my grandkids say, massive I say)
 
Still some what of a lull, but the company had decided to start working on the hand drawn wiring diagrams, for the boiler/burners, I did during the conversions. The CAD guy has returned from his semi-retirement/operation rehab stay, to now render the computer generated as built diagrams, to finish up the jobs. The guy is so smart, he is stupid, many a time I wanted to gut him like a salmon. The owner has compared our relationship to a lit match and a stick of dynamite, if in the same room long enough, something will happen.

example #1 - he wanted me to rewire a boiler, that had just been rewired, because he was extremely upset the wire numbers, did not follow in numerical order. I told him it was wired, and I was not going to change it for two reasons, it was wired to the factory numbering system and it was running perfectly.

example #2 - he truly is a gifted programmer, but can not help himself from trying to reinvent the wheel, on every job. He once did a wiring diagram, that he had another wire the burner to, once it started, it would not shut off, without shutting the power off, to the control cabinet. After about 2 days of dicking around, with no change. I had to go rip out about 75% of the wire and rewire it, so it actually worked. Since then I have to check all diagrams before anyone uses them, and check all as builds for errors or unauthorized changes.

Alas, work is work........it can’t all be easy.......
