Video Summary
AI GeneratedA technician is repairing an HVAC system, identifying a blown fuse and wires damaged by rodents. While working, the technician and the homeowner discuss the technician's long career with the state of Texas and the decline of workplace loyalty. The conversation concludes with a discussion on how to prevent future rodent infestations using screen wire and poison.
Yes, sir.
When he hit that, he took a wire and he jumped it.
And the phone would come on.
The air compressor would come on.
And then, anyway.
I'm trying to think.
He hit.
Now, be careful.
That's hot in there now.
Yes, right up in there.
But, anyway.
You know what you're doing.
So, I tried to clean up my smell.
You stay down here mowing.
And I didn't want to get too hot.
The house is too cold, I mean too hot
in the house unless you need anything you just

definitely
as soon as i get
everything going today i will definitely go
get some wire i got a pop riveter probably
wire that end there.
I proved it back in there.
She makes it get in there anymore.
I bet that's where they come in.
Most definitely
do that.
I'll tell you what, you're a godsend on this.
Well, what's he care?
I'm from the old school.
I worked for the state
of Texas for over 30 years.
We had pride in our working, but like the last four or five years,
I worked for them.
The old days when a company meant,
when an employee meant something to the company,
those days are gone.
At least it was probably.
They tried every which way in the world to get you fired,
and you wouldn't have to deal with it.
Oh, did you get your retirement?
No, I have retirement.
I actually made, to be honest with you,
I don't want to bore you with the facts and figures,
but if you was to take the amount of money
that I spent every month driving to work and back,
Back to my retirement pay,
I gave myself a $60 a month raise in my insurance.
For me, I carried my wife through where she was alive.
For me, my insurance won't cost me a dime for the rest of my life.
I come out smelling like a rose, except coming out here
and my wife having passed away two years.
I appreciate
you so much.
Yes, sir.
I'll get this taken care of and get you back to going
and just understand we need to deal
with whatever's been chewing on this.
I guess I probably need to,
if I was to take some screen wire, some
real good screen wire, would a rodent
be able to get through that stuff too?
You think it?
Well, screen wire helps.
I mean, if it's something like a mouse, I mean,
if they're determined, they can get through it.
but normally when they see that wire,
they turn around.
I guess I need to do every opening I've got underneath
on the base.
Yes,
sir.
I know you've probably come across this before.
Do you have any idea
on what kind of,
I don't know if you think the poison would do any good
either, keep
anything away, but?
I really don't know.
If they're coming in from the yard,
I'm not sure poison's gonna help you.
Maybe put poison under the house
and try to seal this off.
I can seal all this off.
I'm gonna contact with Adams.
