Hopefully we'll hear from Mike soon.

Well the weekends coming up so maybe he will check in.

Thanks for the tip on driving sheet metal screws through with a hammer. I had a couple more window ac's waiting on the bench when i got into work this morning. First thing i did was flip em' bottom up and drove the screws through with a 3lb maul. It worked beautifully.

It seems like they are getting easier & easier to do. They're not bad once you develop a method.

I've been setting the fan motors aside for one of the local scrappers to process. Quite a guy. He's turning 88 years old in a few days and he's still at it. That man has one heck of a work ethic.

No problem. Window units are pretty easy. But theres always that one screw thats rusted out and you cant get out. usually its the last one lol

Been busy with work mostly haven't got the acs yet still going round with the boss lady and her ever changing mind ugh. I've never had to work so hard to get 3500$ lol. Depending on prices of course. Rough estimate of what I'll get. I got two central ac tanks and a window ac tank open and done going to the yard on Monday to make room for 50 window acs on Friday hopefully if she don't change her mind again ugh. Have to break em down to dirty rads,fan motor,wires,compressors before the Friday after that so I get 50 more then the Friday after that 60. I wonder if I can do it is it possible?. 3 hrs after work Mon-thurs plus 11am-9pm Friday plus sat 12pm-5pm. Then I can break everything down fully later. Once I get the first load I can relax and no I'll get the rest.

Nice to know people care for my safety ��. I wear half respirator p100 filters and goggles I should probably wear long sleeves to since that compressor metal is kinda hot when flakes come off of them from the sawzall. I cut through 2 central ac compressors and one window ac I had already done. I used a. 12 inch carbide blade for all three. I'm not sure how many I'll be able to cut open with one blade. I have a 9 inch diablo amped carbide blade for the window ac compressors. Good news is they guy at the yard said I can mix the num 2 tubes with the wire so it saves me on buckets haha. So now I'll have 3 buckets of copper bare Brite,num 2 and num 1
