Drives me nuts. I don't see how it's even possible but how do you just walk past it and not fix it.
After three months he still tangles up the solution line. It comes off the spool perfect and then he ties it in a knot. Aaaahhhhhh. Oh, and bring the zipper in without banging it off the door.

You must live a great life....

I couldn't... Just undo the cuff!

 

[mirf]

How does he clean?

 

[Kellie Hiler]

That would drive me bananas! I don't let my hoses even coil when I'm cleaning unless I am in a really tight space lol...

 

[hogjowl]

It's probably his way of punishing you for making him have to deal with 2.5 inch hose.

I'd just quit first day.

 

[Jimmy L]

OMG! THE WORLD IS ENDING!

 

[hogjowl]

Oh wait. I see that is all 2 inch? Then why the short section?

 

[KevinL]

It looks like 2.5 on the left but why the short piece?

 

[Desk Jockey]

I'd kill him.

Ok first I'd explain why it shouldn't be that way and then the next time....I'd kill him.

 

[hogjowl]

Look at the hose set up he's given that guy to work with and then tell me he doesn't deserve the idiot he's got?

 

[Desk Jockey]

I agree I don't understand the one foot section but a pretzel? Nobody deserves a pretzel.

It looks like 2.5 on the left but why the short piece?

The short piece is a reducer... 2.5" hose cuff to a 2" hose cuff... The short section is 2.5" hose and notice how the 2" stater cuff goes into the hose and not on the outside of the hose.... I have the same thing from the cool cuff max package Y...

And if they can't figure not to tangle the hoses after the first month, they never will get it... I stress to keep the hose straight as possible...

 

[hogjowl]

Well then, I rest my case.

[Jimmy L]

IT takes years of experience to have that skill give him time.

Naah Nate....don't stress....Talk to Bawb, I'm sure he could hook you up, with one of them "blue pills". That might help keeping it straight...

 

[steve_64]

Genny still cant keep the hoses straight lol.

But I love her anyway.

 

[GeneMiller]

Wow , this hose setup confuses people. It's like Nate said. The reducer set up this way gives me no restrictions. I have two complete setups on one spool. Ever hose section has the correct size just to connect to another hose the same size. If I use the regular 2 1/2 to 2 reducer and need to connect it to another 2 1/2 I can't. This makes life simpler. We run two lines a lot and and I can easily make changes without having problems with connectors fitting. With new guys I run the first 100' all 2" and then a 75' section of 2 1/2.

First two houses today bounces the zipper right off the doors. He cleans fine, but I still have to check on him or he will miss stuff. He only sees it as a short stopping point not as a career.

 

[Desk Jockey]

I did too...and I'm still here. I had plans for a lot more but ended up staying.

 

[Old Coastie]

He probably thinks he is reducing the stress on the couplings, the way one knots two long extension cords to prevent separation.

As for bonking the Zipper, he is likely towing the hose instead of carrying the end of the hose AND holding the Zipper amidships. Every snag he hits, the wand or Zipper is going to slew off to one side. I make the elves carry the wand straight up and down, with a loop of hose held in the middle of the wand. Any snag tugs the hose, not the end of the wand.

ymmv

 

[Goomer]

Try slipping the loop over his head and down to his neck and pull on both ends until he gets it.
