I know about the RTV mess. I got Lane's pressure washer in the shop now where he removed the carburetor and instead purchasing the needed gaskets RTV everything. It is the second Honda GCV160 of his that been in the shop this year. Good thing brought extra gaskets the last time I ordered Honda parts.
It is so much easier just let me do the work instead of me spending over an hour scraping off the RTV and unplugging vent holes.
But as long we deal with the public we are going this attitude.
I did turn down a job just before closing (6 PM) last night where the customer wanted bring in a rider and want done by today without me even knowing what was wrong with it. I simply said that wil be closed Sunday and they could bring it in during me normal business hours so I find what is wrong so I could order the needed parts. I think 60 hrs a week is enough time to spend working on equipment.
I had to put my foot down about my hours as customer were calling at 2am and coming in on Sunday demanding me to work on their right then. The last cussing is the one was "The straw that broke the camel back.". I now have a chain that I put up across my driveway when I am closed and believe or not some don't even get the point that I am closed when the chain is up. My phone is now programmed to turn off the ringer during after hours.; no more waking me up in the middle of the night. I do need a day to get my personal done like cleaning the house, mowing the lawn, getting groceries, etc. I live by myself as you might have guess about the housework.
Well I done ranting about this. Just letting a little steam somewhere and hear at it is constructive as I don't so alone about these problems. Any way I know what is awaiting for me in the morning, 4 chainsaws, 2 riders, 1 push mower, and a pressure washer. At least the tiller is finished.
The truest measure of society is the how it treats its elderly, its pets, and its prisoners.
