Vent: Got called out to a fancy restaurant in Tempe for a flickering light

The manager was sure it was a bad ballast in their main dining room chandelier. After an hour on a 20-foot ladder, I found the real problem. A busboy had zip-tied the low-voltage wire for the dimmer right against a hot water pipe in the ceiling. The heat was making the insulation go soft. Ever have a fix that simple after someone was so sure it was something big?

Man, that's the worst. You chase the big fix when it's something stupid simple. @davis.ruby knows the feeling with that mouse nest. Always makes you feel a little silly after.

Found a mouse nest in a control panel once.
