TIL my 500th compressor replacement was the easiest one yet
This morning I logged my 100th dryer vent cleaning since January. When I started this side of the business, I thought it was just easy money, pull the hose, brush the lint, done. But number 87 was a house in Beaverton where the vent had a bird nest halfway through, and the dryer was barely exhausting. The homeowner told me she'd been running the dryer twice per cycle for months. That one call made me realize this isn't the boring filler work, it's the stuff that actually prevents fires and keeps machines alive. Now I spend more time checking the outside flap and measuring airflow with my manometer on every job. Anyone else track their numbers like this, or do you just take whatever calls come in without counting?
