Apartment Maintenance Vlog #36

I started doing maintenance a little over a month ago and really appreciate your videos. I hope you're doing well good sir and hope you continue to create content

thats about how my day went lol

No harm no foul in making mistakes. Glad you kept the camera rolling through the rest of the repair.

Excellent content

Just found this channel and want to ask a question: I live in an apartment that has a main lug panel (no main breaker in the panel). There is also no breaker to cut the power between the panel and the meter. It is not a split bus panel; so, to cut power to the apartment would require flipping 16 different breakers. In addition, the breaker box lists that it was made by “I-T-E circuit breaker company, Walker division”. On doing some research, this was the name I-T-E used after about 1955 (when they took over Walker electrical company) but before 1968 (when they merged with Imperial-Eastman and changed the name to I-T-E Imperial). This means that today in 2023, the panel box is anywhere from 54 to 67 years old. I have spoken with the manager about the panel and they insist that I don’t know what I am talking about. They say the panel has to have a main disconnect and can’t be as old as I am saying. However, they won’t even send the maintenance man to look at the panel, let alone an electrician.

Should I be concerned?

I always use good pipe dope on any of those fittings, works out better in the long run.

Hell yeah real good video showing everything

That disposal retaining ring wasn't clamped all the way.

Great vid. Pipe dope on the threads to help seal and lubricant

Great video showing everything at the end and what was wrong

Man i hate it when the time comes to have to saw a sink apart because you've exhausted all other options, I've been their, with that and a garbage disposal!!

I would put Teflon tape on the mixing valve regardless if it needed it or not, I was always told Teflon is cheaper than a leak

Bulbs and ballasts a maintenance man job security. I get those calls all the time. I work in a commercial building

The other side of the coin from when you get a a bunch of work orders for a single, easy to fix issue.

Hope you don't mind but I think you look like Billy bob thorton
