That poor kid is gonna get himself killed if he hasn't already.

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.

The kid lived! So there is an extremely happy ending! We have heat! The kid spent in the ballpark of 9+ hours here the past 3 evenings......he did the complete service and cleanout, cleaned out all the oil saturation by hand, put the new chamber in AND....put the brand new burner setup on....so now we have a virtually new furnace......so we are settling up and the kid says........$160.00! $160.00 I said to him?!?!?! You are friggin insane.....I was extremely happy but the kid did alot of work and great work at that so we wrote him a check for $300 bucks! So where the original cleanout was gonna cost $225 all that work and a virtually new furnace cost us $400!!!! Sweet! Alot of aggravation though!

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

That's awsome. Should have given him a smack on the head those as you handed him the 300. Might have been a nice opportunity for a chat about tardiness. Glad it all worked out. Merry Christmas

Poor kid is probably running around like a chicken with his head cut off this time of year, especially if he is as good as you say he is. Mind sharing his info in a pm I could use a tuneup/ cleanout..

Thats why he still walks and breaths! I knew he was damn swamped and he works alone. Buried with no heat calls.....but he needs to be more up front and honest about what time he is gonna show at a customers house! He did a fantastic job!

Almost time to get our fish on!!!
