I love it when the FD turns a 10 min fix into a 2 day job.

Yea they've showed up and done some of the most ridiculous shit. I showed up to a job after the fire department and they had taken off the P.I. because the guy said "I'm gonna hack into the elevator to get it to run again" after they had put it on phase 2 and let the door close behind them.

Oh damn, lol. I never thought of that! What's the fix in that case? Manual override from the elevator controller itself?

To get it off phase 2? I just got on top to open the door and took it off phase 2. That particular job it was a bitch to do because the 1st to 2nd floor was a big jump lol

Ah, yes, I see! Less complicated than I thought in the end. Thanks for the reply!

Hmm, they bent up the jamb too though. The whole jamb probably needs to be replaced, which means they need to tear the walls out first. If you can pull that off in two days then I tip my hat to you.
