The new renters moved into the house Monday. Keep in mind they were
moving from Oregon and paid for Novembers rent even though they were not
moving in till this week. We told them all the info as far as utilities
middle of last month. Guy shows up on Sunday to move a few things in
and we are there finishing up a couple of last minute items. He walks
the house and wants some light bulbs replaced and a few other minor
deals. Whatever. He better be sure there are no burned out bulbs when
he moves out. I explained to him that I had shut the water off at the
meter because there is not gas on in the house and it was going to be
down to 25 or so a couple of nights. I explained when he gets the gas
turned on so there is heat in the house, he can then go down to the
meter and turn it back on. Yesterday he calls and it took quite a while
to explain to him how to turn the damn valve on at the meter. He just
could not grasp it. He finally got it. Later, he messages and says he
turned the heater on and it ran for an hour but never got hot. We asked
him if he turned the gas on. No, he has not. Well sir, it is a gas
furnace so it will not heat until you get the gas turned on. We had to
have one of the garage doors worked on and had an appointment with then
to come out today. The guy knows this. He messages saying one of the
garage doors (the working one) starts going down then comes back up. It
was working fine Sunday so he must have something blocking the sensors
or knocked one of them loose. Why bring this up anyway when you know
the garage door guy will be coming over. He then states he can't figure
out how to light the gas log fireplaces that are in the house. It is
real simple, turn gas on, turn knob to pilot and hold it hit, hit the
button to ignite it, turn knob to on, then you are in business. Could
not get it. The wife had to do it for him. He says the jets do not
work in the jacuzzi tub. I just repaired bad air line going from the
switch to the unit, it works fine. She fills tub up and it works fine.
Guy says oh, you have to have water in the but before they work? Uh
yea, otherwise you will burn the motor up. What did he think, it
sprayed jets of water out. Holy crap.
So what does the guy do for a living? He is in commercial construction
of some sort. He was relocated here to work on some big expansion the
google server farm is doing here. That is quite scary.
