I'm an Amazon Prime member for years and have taken your advice on several pieces of equipment that has made my life a lot easier thanks babe
Hey lex what is the name of that tool that you used to check if the wire is hot? If possible could you leave a link as to where I might get one thanks
This may be the first video I've seen of yours where you're doing a repair without neoprene gloves on. Feels weird watching it, like something's missing.
👍😂👍 Yea, it usually when I run out & I'm waiting for HD to bring me some. Thank you so much for watching Ryan!

Dude stumbled into your channel about 2 weeks ago and absolutely love it!work as a maintenance man here in Louisville Kentucky and you work on exactly the same products that I do and it's been extremely educational, especially on The Goodman's
Awesome! Thank you so much for watching Clay!

Awesome video Lex!! It sucks being on call but the satisfaction the feeling of fixing problems like these makes me feel like a super hero when it’s all said and done hahaha 👍
It sure does! Thank you so much for watching Cristian!

I just found your page, this is the 3rd video on watching. I've been working maintenance at an industrial fiberglass plant for the last 2 years. And learn new stuff everyday. I look forward to seeing what else you have on here. So far I'm digging what I'm seeing. Thanks for the videos.
Welcome aboard! Thank you so much for watching Jeremy!

Dirty maintenance nation is probably the best name for a YT channel I've seen to date. I get filthy dirty every night I'm at the plant. Grease, oil, the resin they spray on the mats, and just general filth. The best part is all that crap is mixed with fine little glass fibers. It gets everywhere. I can't even wear my work clothes in the house and have to change on the porch. It's a mess but I love what I do.
Lex,you might want to interface that photo cell with a contactor from one of your ac condenser spare parts.your photo cell will never go bad,or have holes blown in the side as u stated.I just retired with 42 years service as an electrical tech .That the way I did it and it's very effective.If you only powering one or two lights of coarse you don't need that.Looks like u had a big load going through the cell.
Daniel Steele if it gives me any more trouble, ill do that. I made this video in Feb 2016. So its been good for 2 years. No problems as of yet. Thank you so much for watching Daniel!

Sometimes they will fail on also. Nice work.
They sure do Rob. And the bossman/owner always sees it during the daytime & wonders why "we're wasting electricity". I be the same way if i were paying the bill. Thank you so much for watching Rob!
Great job Lex!
Thank you Robert!
Good job lex. Night calls rule.
Good times in dirty maintenance land! Thank you so much for watching Nor Cal!
Super good video, appreciate ya and your work! Only one question since nobody's asked yet: what the hell is the animal stuck in the toilet at 10:16??
Prénom McNom A big ol' rat! 😂 Thank you so much for watching Prenom!
Is that rat stuck in the toilet on one of your videos? I was curious about that too. That’s the reason I went in the comments lol
Nice job Lex
Thank you Harry!
Saving the world one work order at a time, skid bro!

Thank you so much for watching Jeff!

Thank you so much brennanac!
The old trip corner call...
😆 Thank you so much for watching Stephen!
Wonder how many amps those lights are pulling?
Ill have to check next time im in there at a normal hour. Thank you for watching Heavy Diesel!
Very imformative and entertaining videos, would love to. Jam with u sometime if ur ever in the Huntsville/cullman al area, i work in a congregate style setting, pretty unique circumstance, we have some eccentric people here and deal with fun work orders like snaking diapers out of toilets and an inceccant number of leaks due to shitty plumbing installed 20 years ago, keep up with the videos bro
Don't temp me with a goodtime. 👍😂👍 Sounds awesome. Thank you so much for watching Chris!

I noticed during a punch today that our breakers for the exterior lights on one building was in an apartment breaker box. So that unit is paying for 15 exterior lights to run every night. No wonder I couldn't find them in the past lol. Never have found the photo sensor. I've always done light check at night for that building.
TechFive Wowzers! 😂😂😂 Thank you so much for watching TechFive!

In Oklahoma thats illegal... the person thats paying for them lights can sue them....
Considered a safety liability.
Your experience shows man great repair
12 years! Thank you for watching Derrick!
Great video as always :-) oooo..not a big fan of the North American crapper rat though ..would hate to pull that johnny up off the wax ring and find that particular clog..we're talking hazard pay on that one! lol.
👍😆👍 thank you so much for watching Kayla!
@@LexVance lol no problemo ..thanks for posting all of your wonderful content :-)
Lex, i have had those easy read meters beep on dead wires. Junk meter or is there another reason?
Yeah, that sounds like a lemon meter. That's all I can think of. Thank you so much for watching Dan!
You should have used a time clock. Photo cells handle the load. They are okay for one fixture.
Photo cells can't handle the load I mean.
John Barone Thank you for watching John!

Photocell wired to breaker labeled "house lights." Sho nuff. At least that part was legit. Common lights can be such a PITA. Everything from photocells, to GFCI's tripping in garages, to underground shorts. All depends on the property. Some are definitely better than others.
Yep! Thank you so much for watching Marc!

A safer failure mode for the photo cell would be to keep the lights on in the day.
kdmq Sometimes that happens too lol😂 I have a video where the lights were stuck on as well. Thank you so much for watching kdmq!
How much load are all of those breezeway lights pulling?
Ill check when im in there during a normal hour. Thank you for watching Dwight!
What caught my eye was that the breaker is a 20A, and most photocells top out at 15A load rating, and much less for inductive loads (fluorescent/HID).
+Dwight Bennett Right on Dwight. Good eye!
Ok
Hate going on call. We have that at my work. You all rotate weeks? How come yall don't use a timer for the lights?
Dude what is that hanging out the bottom of that toilet at the end....??😁
One of those nutrient animals. Like a big rat.
👍😂👍Thank you so much for watching Survival!

You guys consider that an emergency?
John Schneider Yes if the entire building goes out. A few bulbs is not an emergency. But the building was dark & you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.
Thank you so much for watching
John!
www.dirtymaintenancenation.com
yea..at my complex it is considered a safety issue.
hole building , . yes safety an Liability issue
It’s a safety hazard. The company is liable if anything happens to the residents with those lights out
I wish i had known this was considered an emergency! This happened at our apt for a week! Going up & down pitch black with 2 young kids was dangerous & scary! The front desk told me to call the city to have them fix it. Smh. She only agreed to take care of it when my husband talked to her. Thank you for the education.
Dude, how is this an emergency? On call should mean leaks, no hot water, no toilet, no heat, no AC when it’s above 85 degrees and no fridge. Anything else can wait.
Yep. The resident was all worried about someone falling on the stairs because it was so dark. So, to cover my butt, I fixed it. Thank you so much for watching Chad!

Lex Vance always brother. I think I’d of made that a Monday appointment but I hear ya. Keep up the good work✌🏻
@@thechad7803 No lights CAN mean a security issue. Although it seems like Lex's properties are in decent areas. Nevertheless, I'd take time-and-a-half to go on an easy on call like this one. With that said, I also see your point too. Sometimes, if I CAN talk people out of a cheesy on call, I DO talk them out of it.
