The Foreclosure Blues
Real winner of a “winterizing” job at today’s foreclosure. First, badly burned the back of my hand on the boiler’s recirculating pump removing the boiler’s front cover – the idiots did not notice the power switch for the boiler was reversed (off was up) and the pump had run for two months with no water in the boiler – the pump housing measured 327F with the IR thermometer. Then, the client comes and tells me the WH is running… sure enough; the idiots had drained it, but not turned it off at the gas valve or the in-line valve in the supply line, and the burner had kicked on.

"Welcome to our foreclosure!"
