Brian and Mark requested assistance with installing lights under their carport, and Hunter and I were tasked with the job. We began by assessing the area to determine the best placement for the lights. After mapping out the layout, we installed the necessary wiring and fixtures. Each light was carefully positioned to ensure optimal coverage and aesthetics. Once the installation was complete, we conducted a thorough test to confirm that all lights were functioning correctly. The project was successfully finished, providing the carport with the desired illumination.

Upon arrival, I first addressed the issue of the water being shut off in the well house. The handle had been turned incorrectly, resulting in a slow drip. I then proceeded to inspect the trench near the greenhouse for any leaks. During this inspection, I discovered that the water hose bib line had a break at the top of the tee fitting. To resolve this, I carefully cut out the damaged tee fitting and replaced it with a PEX fitting. As per the customer's request, I did not reinstall the hose bib since Dave had specifically asked not to. After ensuring the line was properly sealed, I pressurized the system and confirmed there were no visible leaks. The water level has now been restored to the back pin.

Upon arrival, the customer reported hearing a persistent clicking noise throughout the night. A thorough hearing evaluation revealed that the air filter was being sucked into the return grill, causing the popping noise. To address this, I recommended the customer try using a 2-inch filter, which is thicker and less likely to get sucked in. If this did not resolve the issue, I suggested applying weather stripping on the inside of the filter grill to reduce the sound. Additionally, the customer expressed concern about the ductwork. I inspected the ductwork and found no issues, and confirmed that the previous repairs were still intact. The system is currently running efficiently, providing both heating and cooling as required.

I provided a detailed estimate for installing a dedicated plug specifically designed for a garage fridge.
