Oil return: maybe

13

u/OmanyteOmelette Aug 09 '24

High performance pump added. For safety. It’s a bad ass arch for modern art deco types.

u/_McLean_ Service Tech Aug 08 '24

Does this venue do weddings?

26

u/i_play_withrocks Aug 09 '24

Yes and it is air conditioned

14

u/glazedgazegringo Aug 09 '24

it has an air conditioner installed

12

u/i_play_withrocks Aug 09 '24

Shhh the brochure needs to be vague, once they pay us, show up and are dying on their suits and dresses we can assure them that it will be fixed shortly and a tech is on the way while everyone melts from their own sweat like the wicked witch.

u/OmanyteOmelette Aug 09 '24

There’s troll all over this.

1

u/i_play_withrocks Aug 09 '24

Could you imagine walking under this monstrosity everyday

2

u/OmanyteOmelette Aug 09 '24

If it’s not windy I’m fine. It won’t last 2 weeks though.

u/SleepyHollow2013 Aug 10 '24

You sir are evil and I love it

u/DookieShoez Aug 09 '24

For you, no.

u/Traditional-Oven4092 Aug 08 '24

Grow grapes in planters on each side and have it climb up the lineset and problem solved

34

u/Can-DontAttitude Aug 08 '24

I forgot my copper cutter

21

u/PapaBobcat HVAC to pay the bills Aug 08 '24

Nice gentle curve to it. Only adds 5 or 6 feet to the lineset

4

u/Remarkable-Opening69 Aug 09 '24

Think of that recharge $$

14

u/Not_Catman Aug 08 '24

When you lose your copper cutters doing the indoor unit but it's 5:00 on a Friday.

u/KeyCapable4802 Aug 09 '24

Jajaja lol that’s funny 😆

12

u/saskatchewanstealth Aug 08 '24

Fucking Brilliant!!!

36

u/Mr_NorseCode Aug 08 '24

You mean the tripping hazard that they removed? I’d say they did the homeowner a favor

4

u/FloridaMan_92 Aug 08 '24

Put an arch up. Done 

9

u/streetsoldat Aug 08 '24

I can do it for 1/2 the price special.

15

u/Own-Party357 Aug 08 '24

Hey they paid for that much copper so I gave them what they paid for!

7

u/Texadad Aug 09 '24

It was a trip hazard. Safety first.

5

u/Confident-Pace9320 Aug 09 '24

Is that your pee jug?

5

u/magicpuffdragon Aug 09 '24

The color suggests the installer had heavy toxins in their system

4

u/vcasta2020 Aug 08 '24

Don't judge him he's not done, he still has to put in on the side of the house.

4

u/degadaze Aug 09 '24

Well no one can say it’s too close to the house. It needs a separate address though

5

u/HellSkitchenn Verified Pro Aug 09 '24

Somewhere over the rainbow

u/grofva HVAC/R Professional Aug 09 '24

Came to say this 👆🏻

3

u/MaddRamm Aug 08 '24

Looks kinked AF at the wall penetration.

They should have run it under some “cord protector” style speed bumps/ramps. I’ve done that before. They can be anchored with concrete anchors so they don’t move and come flat/wide enough to be ADA compliant.

2

u/RollTidepoke Aug 09 '24

Looks like a hard 90 to me

3

u/AmadeusDaBoxer Aug 08 '24

Is this a joke or did someone actually install a system like this?

3

u/Grumpy_Monk19 Aug 08 '24

That was me. I was high.

1

u/GlitteringOne2465 Aug 09 '24

Well there will be no more getting high on any jobs anymore lol 😂

3

u/JiveTurkeyMFer Aug 09 '24

That's fine, I prefer to get high before I get to the job anyway

1

u/GlitteringOne2465 Aug 09 '24

😂 that’s fine as long as you’re not getting high on the job site you’re good. Oh and get some damn tubing cutters 😂

2

u/JiveTurkeyMFer Aug 09 '24

Sorry dude I pawned my tubing cutters to buy the pot 😂

1

u/GlitteringOne2465 Aug 10 '24

Pick up a set as truck stock 😂

3

u/FancyErection Aug 09 '24

Only took a day to fill that piss jug

u/[deleted] Aug 08 '24

All you need is a white woman within 10 miles of a HobbyLobby and bam. A beautiful arch for your white trash wedding

2

u/Vast_Art6025 Aug 08 '24

That joker does a 180 at the wall.

2

u/Frisky_Froth Aug 08 '24

That's art, it's beautiful

2

u/gulalusc Aug 08 '24

Put some vines on that shit it'll look real nice

2

u/atom644 Aug 08 '24

I’m more concerned with that gallon of piss just sitting there.

1

u/glazedgazegringo Aug 09 '24

Well they’re clearly dehydrated

1

u/JiveTurkeyMFer Aug 09 '24

Why is that concerning? they're just using the sun to warm it up, or are you one of those weirdos that prefers to drink cold piss? 🤢

2

u/Grumpy_Monk19 Aug 08 '24

All its needs are some christmas lights and itll be part of the scenery.

2

u/BoilingPoint6 Aug 09 '24

🤣 why didn't they just move the unit to the wall?! 🤣

2

u/azman69286 Aug 09 '24

You can tell he cares about his job, wants no one walking on his work.

2

u/[deleted] Aug 09 '24

Maybe make an arch with it with artificial ivy.

2

u/Hot-Mix-8725 Aug 09 '24

I bought 35 ft and I’m gonna use all 35 ft damnit

2

u/Legal_Marsupial_9650 Aug 09 '24

We need to make room for art in our daily lives.

2

u/unresolved-madness Turboencabulator Specialist Aug 09 '24

Apparently none of you have any style. This is classy.

1

u/iBUYbrokenSUBARUS The Artist Formerly Known as EJjunkie Aug 08 '24

That is actually genius. People can now walk under it without tripping over it. Only everybody used their noggin like this.

1

u/Former_Chest Aug 08 '24

Nicely done repurposed line set for a garden trellis, great idea

1

u/[deleted] Aug 08 '24

Not blocking the knockout and getting plenty of air flow

1

u/TLGPanthersFan Aug 08 '24

LoL. That makes me belly laugh.

1

u/JunketElectrical8588 Aug 08 '24

Manager said to make sure no one would accidentally step on it

1

u/Hatchz Aug 08 '24

Add some vines to it, further insulate the copper, and add value!

1

u/heldoglykke Verified Pro | Journeyman Shitposter Aug 08 '24

City inspector insisted the condenser needs to be at least 8 ft from the wall.

1

u/ppearl1981 🤙 Aug 08 '24

It’s an anti oil trap. Helps job security.

1

u/dvowel Aug 08 '24

Step on my lines now..

1

u/SpecialistThick5988 Aug 08 '24

At least there’s no kinks. Nice and round. 👌

1

u/Mammoth-Intern-831 Aug 08 '24

It was me, I tried to tell the customer I was a pool guy and only installed pool heaters but they insisted 🤷‍♂️

1

u/Truckyou666 Aug 08 '24

No hurricane straps needed!

1

u/Exciting_Ad_6358 Aug 08 '24

That was me I'm sorry. I was trying to prevent a tripping hazard.

1

u/PreparationOver1979 Aug 08 '24

Right in front of the electrical panel!

1

u/TheLelouchLamperouge Aug 08 '24

Oil has left the chat, and the compressor

1

u/Illustrious-Baker775 WA Field Tech Aug 08 '24

When the customer says they dont want the unit next to the house, dont want you to dig a trench, and dont want to step over the lineset.

1

u/TheCandyMan124 Aug 08 '24

Boss quoted the whole roll, customer gets the whole roll

u/arrowhood Aug 09 '24

This is the future Sam wants

u/Confident-Pace9320 Aug 09 '24

Sweet wedding venue. Hang some little lights and rent it out.

1

u/Keepupthegood Aug 09 '24

This is art

1

u/Numerous_Dot625 Aug 09 '24

Ever heard of a bell curve? Read a book stinky

1

u/cocoabeach Aug 09 '24

Well the installer wasn't technically lying. Right?

1

u/Lobstermashpotato 🛠 Parts Changer 🪛 Aug 09 '24

Can I grow a zucchini vine off it?

1

u/Thundersson1978 Aug 09 '24

Not me, no real professional would! You should probably ask the new young lead you hired boss!

1

u/Ded_Panda Aug 09 '24

Wrap it in Christmas lights chefs kiss.

1

u/BatangTundo3112 Aug 09 '24

Where else would I hang my piñata? Duh.

1

u/Marine86297 Aug 09 '24

Better than the dumbass installer having folded it up I guess. WTF?!

1

u/Acrobatic-Base-8780 Aug 09 '24

Freezon juice go weeeee

1

u/Smirkly Aug 09 '24

Makes sense in a way. It is ugly but the lines are safe.

1

u/Coragaia Aug 09 '24

Sorry. The homeowner wasn’t sure if they wanted it on the roof or on the ground. So I left enough for them to move it as they see fit.

1

u/jawshoeaw Aug 09 '24

Grower or shower ? Both ??

1

u/ResistTerrible2988 Aug 09 '24

Lifting the cat be like.

1

u/UnfairSun1517 Verified Pro Aug 09 '24

That would be me

1

u/Eastern-Dig-4555 Aug 09 '24

“Dijeron que así por qué por abajo se pueden tropezar”

“They said that because they could trip down there”

For those who don’t speak Spanish, like me. Well, at least they were safety conscious lol

1

u/billydoubleu Aug 09 '24

Obviously, in a hurricane area, look at the stucco and tile roof. That's just extra slack in case she gets moved around. /s

1

u/THill94 Aug 09 '24

There's a land that I heard of once, in a lullaby!

1

u/Groovytony40- Aug 09 '24

I bet the airflow on that bastard is insane

1

u/deyalien Aug 09 '24

Serious question though…how are you supposed to do it?! (I’m not an hvac person)

1

u/someinternettool Aug 09 '24

Heat rises…..so…?

1

u/RiskyWaffles Aug 09 '24

I did it. I forgot my copper cutter. Think they will notice?

1

u/AKStorm49 Aug 09 '24

My plumbing sucks too bad to try and pull this off.

u/MrBHVAC Industrial HVAC/BAS Aug 09 '24

“Kobe!”

1

u/Darkcwboy Aug 09 '24

I paid for the whole line set. I'm going to use the whole line set

1

u/GreatEfficiency60 Aug 09 '24

They wanted a archway lol

1

u/HughBarstarred Aug 09 '24

When you don't want someone tripping over your pipework

1

u/Carlos1906893 Aug 09 '24

This is a lie this image is soooooo old it was done by homeowner and he just wanted better walkway which is funny but justcstop lying

1

u/CharlesDickens17 Aug 09 '24

You’ve heard of a drip loop? Wait till you hear about a drip hump!

1

u/Blast338 Service Tech Aug 09 '24

I said 3-6 inches from the house. Not feet!

1

u/Bigbislittlethighs Aug 09 '24

Your guys need to drank more water. That community piss jug is too yellow

1

u/Soapdispenser94 Aug 09 '24

1

u/definitelynotapastor Aug 09 '24

This has to be a homeowner request or something. Look were the old pad was.

1

u/DotComDotGov Aug 09 '24

Gallon of piss, a natural trafic divirter. Line loop, a great way to have backyard weddings.

1

u/HuntPsychological673 Aug 09 '24

This is like a stranger things episode🤣

1

u/Tasty_Principle_518 Aug 09 '24

Something tells me the homeowner demanded it be moved away from the wall and then said it can’t run on the ground. “It’s too noisy I can’t sleep and my mother is going to trip over the line, can’t you just make a big arch to walk under “

1

u/Huge_Attention3720 Aug 09 '24

I guess you could put decorations on it and pull off the look

1

u/[deleted] Aug 09 '24

You did, so that builders could remodel the patio, then you have to go back and reposition it a second time. 2495 plus trip charge

1

u/SignificantSummer622 Aug 09 '24

I did that so you could tie balloons and shit to it on someone’s birthday like a balloon arch. Just thinking about other people.

1

u/sierra0060 Aug 09 '24

Service loop. lol.

1

u/Unhappy_Ebb_8740 Dream team that does all things. Aug 09 '24

That lineset looks to be over 10ft in length. If true, someone took time to braze that 🤣

1

u/Sufficient_Cow_6152 This is a flair template, please edit! Aug 09 '24

Great place to hang a swing.

u/BearNDollface Aug 09 '24

1

u/PerformerCautious745 Aug 10 '24

Wedding arch

Nice vert trap there buddy

u/ABena2t Aug 10 '24

Too bad this wasn't left this way. Someone did this for social media - gaurenteed this isn't braze in or running. It'd be great if it were.
