Sweet intelligent old people like this usually have nobody to talk to ... and when they get an ( HONEST CAPTIVE WORKER😂) willing to listen ... all the flood gates open!😂😂 God Bless You Steve ... YOU ARE A SAINT!
People are saying she has dementia, I don't think so. Listen again. That woman never went off topic! She wanted to tell him about the burner, he's there to fix the burner. Then he asked her why she's losing her license, she told him exactly why. At the end, he tells her she doesn't need that room, she says she specifically built that room and wants to use it. she brought up her husband's paperwork, because he was looking at it stacked there. This woman's mind is not drifting, she may even be sharper now than she was back in the day. Everything she said sounded logical, truthful, and thought out.
Great job Steve. You're an honest man and a saint. It's hell to get old. She may not have spoken to another living person for a week or two and she wants to explain herself. You treated her in a dignified way and explained things so that she might have understood. Bless you both.
She’s a perfects example of humanity’s short fuse when age comes knocking! Respect for this ladies inner beast mentality! Good job Steve on listening and being patient.
Steve what a great episode ! It was hilarious just listening to her and you calmly going about your diagnosis and repair. you are a true gentleman go easy on these elderly customers my friend.
You are so funny Steve! She is just yammering away about her story and you are finding all these loose wires trying concentrate and she just goes on and on. You always make my day especially when I get stories from the customers.
When you are 12 and have a story to tell, you have endless people to talk to. When you are 50, the list gets smaller. When are 92, you just talk to anyone that has an ear, because there is no one else.
I loved when he pulled the nozzle fixture out and he was talking to himself about the nozzle size and setting and shes just going to town about her run in with the man that is hilarious......get em Steve
You can’t make this stuff up mama! God bless you Steve for going back to help Ms Rita. You knew what you were walking into and you still took the service call. 👍🏻 I’m confident you resolved the burner issue here. Let’s hope she stops driving too, I’d hate to find out she got hurt or hurt someone else.
That old lady is pretty sharp, you got that right! I know how she feels, I just lost my elderly mother before Christmas and she was adamant....she was never wanted to go into a nursing home. Can't blame her, those places are awful.
This lady is a national treasure. Americans must protect her at all costs. If I could I would love to visit this lady once a week and listen to her. Bless her heart; she's elderly and vulnerable but also lonely.💙
I knew this was going to be another great video! I'm looking forward to your episode on re-doing her valves. You make a good team with her! Excellent repair too. 👍👍🇺🇸
Make sure you get an extended warranty from ford for that truck. The 7.3 gas are delaminating the cams and roller lifters at about 30000 miles. Just a heads up Steve.
@@BrickTop900 Ummm we have diesel here, lots of diesel engines and trucks. We also have tons of them original 7.3 diesel on them road still. The problem is ford, lets make an engine and call it Godzilla..thatll make the little boys rave for your truck. And it worked, now tons of them piles of hot steamy crap are out there waiting for the backordered parts.
Yeah, I'd walk or wheel myself into the railroad tracks before I spent my final days in a nursing home. I get it! I watched my maternal grandfather, and paternal grand mother end up there - a miserable existence. The dialog is great in your videos, man - that's as enjoyable as watching stuff get fixed. 👍👍
Steve, let her talk. You might learn something. It pays to be a good listener, especially when listening to your wiser elders. She deserves respect, she's obviously very intelligent and has a pair of balls bigger than most men I know. She's my hero !
God Bless her. I just lost my 98 year old Grandma. She was the glue to our family. She still had all her marbles even at 98. They have seen and been through so much. Pick their brain as much as you can. You will never get that information again.
Steve, you are a gentleman and a scholar. I worked in peoples houses for 43 1/2 years and boy did she give you an earful and you handled it great hello to Miss Molly.
Steven treated her with a lot of dignity, by treating her like an adult and being straight with her. What a hell of an old woman, sharp as a tack. I meet people in their 20's and 30's all the time that don't have half the intelligence she's got.
Great Video Steve. Thanks from me for helping her out. I run into some things like this my self. I always say good bless you when I leave the property.
I don't know, I think she caught a lot of it. He asked her if she understood, and she said a good bit of it, LOL. Your average 30 year old would have trouble understanding what he was talking about.
It so sad I went through this with my mom She had dementia No idea who I was But used to tell me stories about her mother and father and everyone else We have to look out after the seniors citizens Some day we are going to be just like them Just saying
8:26 I wonder if one of those uncapped loose wires was occasionally shorting to the burner housing and triggering the safety. I think she did say that the problems started after they changed the igniter transformer. Tough older lady! I hope she has some family around to check on her.
I lived in a house with boilers/brick 2-flat for over 30 years & had minimal service problems. Infact, I prefer steam/water radiator heated heat compared to forced air any day. Forced air heat is nowhere near as cozy & the air quality in the house isn’t good as the ducts generate too much dust. Now as far as working on these units, I’m sure that’s another story. But since the boilers that were in the place I lived for decades, I’m thinking they were made to last & were very sturdy. I miss my radiators although the drawback to them is they cut space out of rooms like a bedroom of which many bedrooms & closets were made small in alot of houses back in the day as people lived very simple & virtually had no big wardrobes unless you were rich. Most houses in Chicagoland are over 100 years old. I can’t see these newly built houses lasting that long unless the best materials were used like they used to use back in the day.
Lady: I’m charging my battery, Toyota didn’t do their job, cough, cough, one night I’m charging my battery, this guy got lost with his GP, cough, cough, Steve: lady why you coughing, you got TB! Steve, your one liners are great!
go easy on the poor lady she's 92 and you're asking why she's coughing? I love how she doesn't mind how blunt you are with her. ur like your legs don't even work! and she's just chatting ur like LET ME TALK lol damn be more loving to that queen. she's got more fight then me when i was 20. your videos are awesome keep it up
@@notninja I live in New England this behavior would be considered rude. I like Steve but I thought he was harsh with the “don’t start with me” if he was at that point it’s time to leave.
I don't think he was harsh, he was treating her honestly which she probably hasnt' had anybody afford her that respect in a long time. Most people would just ignore her, he listened to her and told her the truth, that's why she keeps calling him back, she knows he's honest.
I’m almost 70 and tired of the tax man, lying politicians, insurance companies and all the other BS a person has to deal with. I’m sure at 92 I’ll probably pull out the shot gun and take care of the crap by that age. I can understand her feelings.
Steve you are a saint, and also a damn good workman, always methodical when solving any issues…..not going for the big dollar job straight out the bag, so nice to see an honest guy doing an honest days work…..👍💪🇮🇲
@Djkyle65 That would be a fantastic scenario.Steve would have to give her some training on a few things, especially the hvac lingo. Maybe put a notebook in front of her on a desk with some of the main things she needs to know.If she could handle the job, she would be so happy. Just to be able to talk with people on a daily basis.
She sounds really sharp! My Dad Rip 2019, always gave me grief that he bought this Jetta and I drive it all the time. My sister didn't want him driving. The VA didn't want him driving. He took car one time to Wisconsin to meet someone from Senior Match and got lost, never met the gal. He got lost, but made it back. It's terrifying. yet other seniors know, when to get rid of car or driving, like Ruth in Duluth.
My brother took my grandmother's car away after she'd had her 2nd wreck with the 2nd one having flipped the car over and landing in a ravine and all she got was a broken arm. He "kept it in the shop" for months before she was finally getting mad wondering where it was. They ended up parking it out front and told her she couldn't drive anymore but she was just thrilled to look out the window at it. 😆😅🤣
Steve, You told this beautiful old Lady to leave you alone and let you do your job! She walked away and was going to do as you asked! Then you called her back to talk about loosing he drivers license! I’m a retired pipe fitter, Master Plumber, and a HVAC Technician. Did 45 years! Built a truck like your new one in 1979! I loved it! I did all boiler installations, service, and I did Rough plumping, and Med Gas. I hope you live to be 98, and love your home like this lovely Lady! I wanted to comment on your blatant disrespect towards this Lady who is struggling after watching your firs service call! I hope she will keep you as she desperately wants and needs good honest Technician! She just can’t believe that boiler mate is capable of providing a tub of hot water! Please try to be a little more kinder and gentler with our Senior’s! Respecting your elders is an unending task! Them oil burners are cheap junk. I thank you for taking care of the problems this boiler has! It’s obvious prior Service Techs we’re unqualified! Thanks Steve.
Damn. My 24 year old propane conversion Weil-McLain CGi-3 has been a trooper! It’s starting to rumble a little bit when firing but has never let me down in a quarter century of use. 😛
Hey Steve QB burners require a 70 - B nozzle and fire beautiful with head setting a hair more then called for. Put a 70-B nozzle you will be happier with QB burners.
Please go to her house once a week Steve, I can't get enough!
I was just about to say the same thing!
What about employment?
This lady been going on and on about her mixing valve.
Do the blowfish imitation for her steve!!🤣🤣
Just because people can't walk doesn't mean you can't drive.Ever see a handicapped person in a wheelchair drive.
I do not comment often but this is pure gold. She is a hoot. Love it. You are a saint for helping her and patience.
@@inHistime.exactly but rude
Hell, I absolutely love this lady....I could listen to her for hours.... PURE GOLD! I love elderly peoples stories. God bless her heart!
Sweet intelligent old people like this usually have nobody to talk to ... and when they get an ( HONEST CAPTIVE WORKER😂) willing to listen ... all the flood gates open!😂😂
God Bless You Steve ... YOU ARE A SAINT!
God love her - you are a good man Steve for helping her.
Steve, be nice to the lady.
My oldest heating oil customer is 101. Still lives by himself and still drives and mind is sharp.
Steve there's a special place in heaven when it's your time , you always take extra care in your repairs for the elderly. god bless you brother !!!!
Steve yells at her to het him do his job and immediately feels bad and starts an hour long conversation. Heaven Express!!
🤣🤣🤣
@mabbaticchio Awesome comment, I gave it the old thumbs up.This video is truly a classic. Incredible interaction between the different generations.
This is a classic. 😂 Can’t blame her for wanting to avoid nursing homes.
She should have her own you tube channel… he was trying to follow that damn gp or whatever it is.

92 years old and sharp as a tack! She sounds like Sophia from the " Golden Girls" l love it 🤣 Steve Lavimoniere you handled her very well.
I know eh!!!
😅🤣
She is sharp. Hope I’m doing that well at 92.
She seems sharper than some 40yos :lol:
She’s a perfects example of humanity’s short fuse when age comes knocking! Respect for this ladies inner beast mentality! Good job Steve on listening and being patient.
Steve what a great episode ! It was hilarious just listening to her and you calmly going about your diagnosis and repair. you are a true gentleman go easy on these elderly customers my friend.
She was a real spitfire! Good job, Steve!
You are so funny Steve! She is just yammering away about her story and you are finding all these loose wires trying concentrate and she just goes on and on. You always make my day especially when I get stories from the customers.
My aunt finally stopped driving after she turned 93. She still is sharp as a tack and has a remarkable memory.
When you are 12 and have a story to tell, you have endless people to talk to. When you are 50, the list gets smaller. When are 92, you just talk to anyone that has an ear, because there is no one else.
If that isn’t the truth.
I loved when he pulled the nozzle fixture out and he was talking to himself about the nozzle size and setting and shes just going to town about her run in with the man that is hilarious......get em Steve
You can’t make this stuff up mama! God bless you Steve for going back to help Ms Rita. You knew what you were walking into and you still took the service call. 👍🏻 I’m confident you resolved the burner issue here. Let’s hope she stops driving too, I’d hate to find out she got hurt or hurt someone else.
yes if you get lost in town driving ...best to not drive anymore
@@stevenlavimoniere agree with that and so many more people out there shouldn't be allowed to drive like the speeders and tailgaters
This lady is going to outlive all of us.
What a great lady!! 92 and still on the ball.. Just let them talk! Its good for her.
That old lady is pretty sharp, you got that right! I know how she feels, I just lost my elderly mother before Christmas and she was adamant....she was never wanted to go into a nursing home. Can't blame her, those places are awful.
Driving miss Daisy !!! What a lovely lady god bless her ! Who the hell want to go in a old folks home ! ! glad she got Steve in to fix it ! Topman !
This lady is a national treasure. Americans must protect her at all costs. If I could I would love to visit this lady once a week and listen to her. Bless her heart; she's elderly and vulnerable but also lonely.💙
God love her! She could talk a cat off a fish truck 😂
It's important to listen carefully this wonderful generation. We'll learn something. Thanks for getting that heat running for Rita..
Steve’s not even listening to her ranting. “Ya got TB?” 😂
"take the mask off" they don't work anyway
😂😂😂😂
Damn, she's a riot. Speaks like my mom just with a different accent. She's an old battle axe.
I just discovered your channel. It's great. A true slice of life. Thank you for the continued education.
You will enjoy it ,Steave is great.
Ty for having a Big Heart
Good job on the burner, hopefully the issue was resolved. Mama is quite a talker, still sharp as hell for 92!
I knew this was going to be another great video! I'm looking forward to your episode on re-doing her valves. You make a good team with her! Excellent repair too. 👍👍🇺🇸
God bless you Steve . Wonderful lady 💯🇬🇧🇬🇧
Love to see for work, Molly and thorough work..🎉
Steve you have a heart of gold!
The both of you bantering back and forth was like a hilarious Seinfeld episode.
I love that she gave it right back to you 😂 "listen to my story! "
When she telling her story at the end and Steve cuts her off, "OK LISTEN! I MADE SOME ADJUSTMENTS TO THE BURNER!" 😅
Steve you always take good care of our senior citizens! You are an honorable man!
Your a great guy for helping her out Steve
Make sure you get an extended warranty from ford for that truck. The 7.3 gas are delaminating the cams and roller lifters at about 30000 miles. Just a heads up Steve.
Lots of other minor stuff too, crank seals, coil packs, exhaust manifolds, injectors, etc etc a rushed to production situation I think.
A mechanic told me change the oil more offen on those 12s,I was going to get RV but I never did
Only in America would you run a truck on gas. 7.3L no less. There’s a reason the rest of the world uses diesel
@@BrickTop900 Ummm we have diesel here, lots of diesel engines and trucks. We also have tons of them original 7.3 diesel on them road still.

Ever see a wheelchair person drive ? Night time is a thing for lots of drivers.
You have a strong heart Steve, The old woman is lonely
I laughed so hard in this video. Like the other guy said go visit her once a week!!
Great video !! thank you

Love this lady. Steve i know u told her if she ever gets lost again just call u and u will pick her up and get her home safe.
Steve, let her talk. You might learn something. It pays to be a good listener, especially when listening to your wiser elders. She deserves respect, she's obviously very intelligent and has a pair of balls bigger than most men I know. She's my hero !
Steve You're a great mechanic And a great human being God-bless
Been down that road with family. As sad as it is, driving definitely isn't for her anymore once situations like that start. Good job, Steve!
God Bless her. I just lost my 98 year old Grandma. She was the glue to our family. She still had all her marbles even at 98. They have seen and been through so much. Pick their brain as much as you can. You will never get that information again.
God bless her heart. Her brain is like a sponge. Seems like she can recall anything in the past with precision.

As you explain what’s going on she has no idea what your talking about!
She’s a sweet heart, just doesn’t want to give up
Her independence!
She sounded like she knew more about her system than most homeowners.
I don't know, I think she caught a lot of it. He asked her if she understood, and she said a good bit of it, LOL. Your average 30 year old would have trouble understanding what he was talking about.
You are e grate guy Steve. God Bless you and the Lady
I swear this is better than any soap opera.....absolutely amazing
You have the patience of Job. I deal with people like this at times, and it can be a grind but they are grateful
This lady sounds straight out of a movie! You’re the best Steve!
It so sad
I went through this with my mom
She had dementia No idea who I was But used to tell me stories about her mother and father and everyone else
We have to look out after the seniors citizens
Some day we are going to be just like them
Just saying

PURE GOLD. Can’t wait for follow up
SOMEONE NEEDS TO SET UP A GO FUND ME PAGE FOR THIS WONDERFUL LADY!!!!! Since Steve knows her, maybe he can do it????
This was a great video, and it had nothing to do with fixing the heating issue.

OMG STEVE THIS IS YOUR BEST VIDEO LOL. I CANT WAIT FOR YOU TO GO BACK. LOL. GOD Bless that lady lol
damn Steve you're a little harsh on the old timers . You're lucky she didn't whack ya with that cane when you told her she couldn't walk
Just New England bantering. It's like a different language there.

The only thing I know for Sure is that this was Tremendously better than Watching the Grammys on TV, plus I learned something Great Job.
Poor old thing. She called on the right guy however.
I’m almost 70 and tired of the tax man, lying politicians, insurance companies and all the other BS a person has to deal with. I’m sure at 92 I’ll probably pull out the shot gun and take care of the crap by that age. I can understand her feelings.

Can you imagine steve working with this lady every day. She would be a perfect fit for when customers call steve for service.
@Djkyle65 That would be a fantastic scenario.Steve would have to give her some training on a few things, especially the hvac lingo. Maybe put a notebook in front of her on a desk with some of the main things she needs to know.If she could handle the job, she would be so happy. Just to be able to talk with people on a daily basis.
You have a talent for interacting with older folks. Enjoyed the chat more than the work.
I'm not quite sure I'd call it a talent.
She sounds really sharp! My Dad Rip 2019, always gave me grief that he bought this Jetta
and I drive it all the time. My sister didn't want him driving. The VA didn't want him driving.
He took car one time to Wisconsin to meet someone from Senior Match and got lost, never met the gal. He got lost, but made it back. It's terrifying. yet other seniors know, when to get rid of car or driving, like Ruth in Duluth.

You should hire her for scheduling maintanance on customers systems, Hell, I'd agree to just about anything she says!! Good job Steve.
God bless her.
Wow, she's a feisty 92 year old . . . God bless her. Those are the same baseboard radiators that I grew up with in NJ, house built in 1957.
