JeepcoMJ Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 gah. just got done with my first day (night) at KBI, which is a company that services McDonald's Coca-Cola machines. we're currently on a night schedule because of the massive remodels which are happening here in WI...it's actually not that bad. basically, we're moving and/or replacing the self-serve beverage dispensors, the mocha and coffee dispensors, and the Automatic Beverage Server (ABS) which is located at the second drive-through window. but, after a night of that, I've both realized that i can handle it, and have gotten a newfound respect for plumbers...it is NOT fun running 1/2" ID plastic hose through the ceiling. not too bad though.. next week I'll be out of town working for them...i'm pretty stoked about this job truth be told. i can't wait to get back to school, but this is $$$ in my pocket for now :D (can't wait for day shifts to start up either :brows: ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORCA Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 but, after a night of that, I've both realized that i can handle it, and have gotten a newfound respect for plumbers...it is NOT fun running 1/2" ID plastic hose through the ceiling. I have a good friend who is an electrician and every now and again I help him when he needs an extra set of hands. We had to run 3/4" service cable (the wire loom running from the incoming electrical service to your electrical panel in your garage or where ever) through a house one time. 60' of cable (which weighs close to 80 lbs) took us 6 hours to run. And I dislocated my shoulder about 3 times doing it. :nuts: :mad: I had a new found respect for electricians similar to what you experienced probably.

Still I might go there and cook me a cheese steak on the flat top ( you know cause I got it like that) but we made the best "PIES" ever.. Just thought I'd hi jack this thread to let you know,, no matter what I bet you a cold one I can out cook you on a oven.. :brows: :D :cheers: basically, we're moving and/or replacing the self-serve beverage dispensors, the mocha and coffee dispensors, and the Automatic Beverage Server (ABS) which is located at the second drive-through window.

JeepcoMJ Posted September 4, 2008 Author Share Posted September 4, 2008 Dude you should try to acquire you a CO2 tank from a job for a air system... :D not a CO2 tank. I'm asking my boss (who happens to be a jeeper with a SICK built YJ and thus why i got the job ) about a tank he's got sitting at the shop...he actually has 3 of them, they need mildly refurbished but are not leaky and have locations for about 5 fittings on them...something like 7.5 gallons of air or such held in them, long cylinders. it would be nice to get two of those as they're so low-profile and I can even fit them under the toolbox. fittings too ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
