    she said she would tell her friends around town since thats my radius since i dolly cart things back to the house its oh about 1.8 miles give or take haha.

    3 or the a/c's had regular radiators and the other one had this strange one that has ali fin wound around the copper tube anyone know what that is called couldn't find a pic on google=(

    it was pretty easy to get the copper off of that one i just wound the ali around nice workout for the arms=) and i thought it was going to be the harder one to strip. i was wandering how often any of you come across this type of radiator and do they still use this?

    maybe my next call i will get some romex or pipes=) oh and to top it off the day before i got the ac's i found a rope ratchet on the side of the road boy what a day and without that i could have never got the a/c's back.

    i took two on a dolly had to make 2 trips i should have made 4 and took 1 at a time would have been easier on my legs=) oh and not to mention the first dolly i used had a flat i steped on the tire to see if they were good guess im not good at that lol lucky for me a guy said he would run me to the house and i didnt even ask for help!



    i guess there are nice people still in this world=) my second trip i used a different dolly it had solid tires instead of air=) and again a lady stopped and asked me if i needed help i must have a sign above me that says help me lol. its nice that people want to help me but i used a dolly for a reason so i would not have to lift things into a car or whatever to save my back=)
    Should I even ask about refrigerant recovery?
