Over 40 maintenance technicians from across Central Ohio came out on Wednesday, February 22 to complete in the CAA Maintenance Mania competition. Seven management companies were represented, as owners, property managers and leasing specialists were excited to root for on their competing technicians. Those in the audience wore company t-shirts, held signs, and cheered as they shouted encouraging words to their teams. Maintenance Mania allowed competing technicians to complete a series of seven maintenance-themed games in the fastest possible time. Featured games included AO Smith Water Heater Installation, Frigidaire Icemaker Installation, Halstead Click Lock Plank Installation, Kidde Fire & Carbon Monoxide Safety Installation, Kwikset Key Control Deadbolt Test, and Pfister Drain Installation. Each participant also built a pinewood-derby-style race car from maintenance parts that was raced against other competitors’ cars. Maintenance Mania, hosted by HD Supply and the National Apartment Association, allows affiliate members to vie for a chance to compete at the national competition held each year at the NAA’s education conference in Atlanta. Those participants with the fastest combined times in each region are sent to compete on a national level. Congratulations to the winners!
