First pic is before, second and third pics are after I put my grubby hands on things.
Local LVE was involved with all the scoping, planning and quoting for this server room cleanup project. Apparently, the length of the ETH cables was never discussed, and the existing cables weren't long enough with the new plan + rack in mind. He decided that making new cables wasn't worth his time (quoted 4 hours to do it, 33 needed), nor was sourcing some manually. Homie walked off at 2p on a Thursday. That didn't matter - what did matter was the project being completed as quoted before one of the business Partners returned from vacay
My team spent Thursday planning + sourcing cables, we shored up our gameplan Friday morning, I waited for and received cables, drove an hour North, and spent 6 hours of my time (3.5 hours past my shift end) on a Friday getting this work done 💪🏻
Not as purty as some of what I see done here, but not too shabby for a Help Desk II technician that doesn't get in the field often and has never done this level of rip out + rebuild before.
Kinda want to plug my MSP because this (incident management + remediation) is part of what we do, but that feels cheap.
