inRotary compressor on a Friday call in Buffalo taught me to test before I swap
Test the compressor windings with a meter before touching anything else, that's what saved me after a similar wasted trip. Check start to run, run to common, and start to common against the spec sheet, and if the numbers are way off or open, you know the compressor is gone before you pull a single part. Takes two minutes and stops you from eating the cost on a relay that was never the problem.

inShowerthought: I was dead set on skipping the home inspection until a guy named Ray walked my basement in Dayton
Skip it, save the cash, sellers fix stuff anyway.

inPro tip: my pothos leaves turned yellow after I moved it to a north window, so I checked the soil with a $6 moisture meter
Mine hates north windows too, all my plants do.

inFired my worst client 4 months back and my invoice sheet actually balances now
Something people miss about this is the hidden cost of the changes themselves, not just the late payments. Every mid job switch means reordering material, rescheduling a sub, and then eating the time to redo the plan in your head. Multiply that by 3 changes on every single job and you are basically working a second job for free. So yeah the invoice sheet balances now, but I bet your actual hours per job dropped way more than you realized too. The money was only half the problem.
