A job in a 1970s apartment building turned into a full week of fixing old dryers
Got called to a big complex in Milwaukee for a noisy dryer, but found every unit had the same worn-out idler pulley and belt. Ended up working there for five days straight, just going from apartment to apartment with the same parts. Has anyone else had a single job blow up into a whole building's worth of work?

Man, that reminds me of a time I saw the same weird electrical fault in like six townhouses in a row. Landlord was not happy when I gave him the total.

Talk about hitting the maintenance jackpot.

Maintenance jackpot" feels like the wrong way to look at it, @the_alice. That kind of luck usually means something was ignored for too long. It's just catching up on problems that should have been fixed earlier.
