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 !!!!

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.

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.

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.

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 !

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. 👍👍

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.

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!

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.

I love that she gave it right back to you 😂 "listen to my story! "

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.

Steve you always take good care of our senior citizens! You are an honorable man!

You have a strong heart Steve, The old woman is lonely

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

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.

Steve You're a great mechanic And a great human being God-bless

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 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.

Good job on the burner, hopefully the issue was resolved. Mama is quite a talker, still sharp as hell for 92!

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.

God bless her heart. Her brain is like a sponge. Seems like she can recall anything in the past with precision.

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. 😆😅🤣

Poor old thing. She called on the right guy however.

You are e grate guy Steve. God Bless you and the Lady

You have the patience of Job. I deal with people like this at times, and it can be a grind but they are grateful

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.

"don't start on me now!!" classic Steve 🤣🤣

My grandmother never got a license, lived to be 106, and got to live at home right up to the end.

You are a miracle worker Steven!!!

I moved into a home that had that mono-t system in it. They had added radiator loops in where they should not have, it did not work well at all. I pulled the main loop out, and installed one of those multi-zone manifold valves used for floor heat, and plumbed the system in the special pex for heat to each radiator. For not knowing what I was doing, it surprised me how well it works now.

Well let me tell ya! haha! This video definitely qualifies for a classic "Well there's your problem lady!" Eric O style.
