Narrow two story entry? No problem!

This is actually a throwback from April 1st 2020. We were trying to pull up and get the guys attention. I think what got me was things were so crazy then. It just seemed like, “just another day” 😂

Have you ever gone in to a restroom of a facility and found this on the counter?? I kind of chuckled. Must have a serious chafing problem around this place. People getting rubbed the wrong way. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Anyway, I’m thankful for true public service. Maybe it will be a new rash of kindness.

Had to get out the big guns for this guy. Two sections of scaffold. I thought it was a pretty cool look. It didn’t go up in 30 minutes though….I can tell you that! Big shout out to our lead tech Matt, on an amazing and safe install!

LIGHTNING IS A WILD ANIMAL!! Its crazy, I've inspected a number of lightning damaged properties, and no two are the same. Though interestingly enough, I have seen some similarities. I would guess maybe seventy to eighty percent of the lightning damage jobs I inspect, are due to lightning entering the home through a low voltage line like the sprinkler system, telephone lines or cable. This particular job, the lightning entered through the sprinkler system wires, which I believe was because they were shallow and near a tree that was struck. It blew up the siding and melted the wire and the GFCI receptacle it was plugged into. The craziest thing about this one was, the customer said they didn't know where the sprinkler box lid was(which was located in the back yard). Believe it or not, I found it like eighty feet away in the front yard!! I didn't know how it got there but if the force of the voltage shot that thing over the roof of her house eighty feet away, I am amazed! We install surge suppressors for panels and low voltage lines as well. Lightning is a wild animal and I wouldn't always recommend the same course of prevention to every situation. If you'd like to chat about it give us a call. (317)710-5835
