g'day
hi, came across this site while doing a google search. What a fantastic site with so much info and resources.
Just came off the tools and doing a desk job, which is estimating.Getting too old to be up on the roof and crawling in ceiling space
Cheers

Greetings freigo.
Unususal handle you have there any explaination?
Also you wouldn't like take pity on us pom's. With a little sunshine would you?
The brass monkeys are stating to get cold over here.
Mind you some of our colleagues are getting it a little rough in the Noth America's.
Given the huge distances you guys (Australian Engineers) cover. Whats the favored mode of transport?

Hi freigo I did the same thing about 12 years ago but still get to go on roofs and crawl over plants and love it. Some people say the only time I get my hands dirty is when I fall over. [you're never too old to get grief in this trade.] Never a truer word spoken Brian Paul

G'day.
Just left the tools for a desk job hey?
I'm not far from doing that. I'm ageing prematurely do to the stuff I have to do I think.
Today was spent unblocking drains, talking up **** to people unhappy with their broken a/c (nothing to do with me, we didn't build it, sell it or install it, I just have to put up with them).
That and following the apprentice who has his own van, he thinks every fridge breakdown is a faulty heater. Even though the heater works and is not shorted/open circuit.
Might have to buy him a new multimeter for christmas.
edit: I'm going to make him a diagnostic tool as well.
It will have a dial you spin and it will randomly select "indoor PCB", "Outdoor PCB", "thermistors", "fan motors", "compressor". There may be a better strike rate on getting things right with a wheel to spin, and "heaters" won't be an option either.
I'm getting too old for this domestic/commercial stuff, I need to find a good plantroom or office to retire inLast edited by paul_h; 19-12-2007 at 02:30 PM.

Re: g'day
Hi paul h
When yo make that diagnostic tool can you send me one.
You are probably right about fridiges ageing prematurely. I must admit once I stopped doing domestic / light commercial and got into industrial / large commercial I wouldn't swap it for quids.

Re: g'day
Thanks for the welcome guys!
I hear you Paul_h and that was part of my decision to get off the tools. Found out, having a desk job is something to get used to...ie, talking to irate customers on the phone and being in an office for hours. Really miss being out there...if you know what I mean.
Anyway, I also forgot to mention I did some time as an electrical draftsman and that is what I really like doing.
Grizzly: my handle is just a nick my bro gave me when I was a kid...not sure what it meant but it stuck.
Cheers
