A 'friend' and ex-coworker tried to recruit me to work for one of those places--"I take home $1000/week!" deals but you had to screw over every customer, and I couldn't get away fast enough, and this was back in 1991.

Although I still chuckle over the service calls to fix inert appliances [mostly dryers] that were totally disassembled by the male householder attempting a repair, when the silly buggers had to only look up at the disconnect to see a glass fuse with a big black spot where the link had popped...

The ants in the compressor is endemic in the south with Fire Ants. The ozone created by the relays actually attracts the ants. Always put ant bait around the compressor to get the ants before they get you.
