Fire

 

The chilled water loop that was dammaged (part of the HVAC) was the main cooling system for the display tank. SO, it was an exciting day of watching what the tank temperature would do, making minor changes to lighting, pumps etc and finally setting up a pair of drop in 1/4 HP chillers... but the temp never moved more than 2 degrees. It is nice working with 2,000 gallon systems.

 

SO, everything is fine. The biggest job was keeping all the people involved in overseeing the aquarium informed.

Congrats on getting a big client. You've really done well as a maintenance guy. Hiring?

Bump, I've been wanting to get into that field for a while.

Actually, yes we may be very soon.

 

Summer internship, part time, full time... unknown. Will be looking for a service tech and probably a part time book keeper with a little aquarium background.

 

The big factor is getting into the new larger location. HVAC is done Plumbing is roughed in and Electrical on the new shop should be done early next week. Next on to drywall, paint, floor and finally the "Fun" work begins.
