I'm so sick of being poor

[Kaleva]

23. I had one woman call me up one night saying she had no heat. Furance hadn't come on in awhile.

I get there and the thermostat was set at 70 and it was reading 72. She had been cooking in the kitchen nearby. I turned it up to 74 and she had heat. I turned it back to 70, told her why the furnace hadn't come on for awhile and left. I didn't charge for that job.

Another call was from a friend of an elderly lady who told him that her furnace was making a racket so he asked if I could go out there and work on it. I get there and go down the basement and find that the float on her sump pump was stuck and the pump was the source of the noise. I fix the float and go back upstairs to tell her what I found and did. She tells me the furnace is still making a noise (it wasn't even running at that time) and I need to fix it before I leave or she won't be able to sleep that night. So I go back down the basement and wonder what the heck I'm going to do. Then I take a wrench from my tool bucket and bang on the duct work for a bit. I then go back upstairs and ask her if she can still hear the noise. She says she can't and thanks me for fixing her furnace. I didn't charge for that job either.
