@DOUBLLD can do both for you

Nice to see you still have the truck Steve!

That looks like home HVAC. Does he do cars on the side? I guess I wasn't clear about which A/C- I meant the trucks A/C gave out.

 

You're 100% right only house HVAC , and I need my coffee still this morning

 

Haha all good. I can't believe my ancient house A/C is still alive so I might need that rec soon anyway.

 

Honest and good contractors are always helpful to have!

 

@Darkgoatracer is one of those guys

 

Don't wait too long. Lost my system in the middle of winter long time ago. Sucks!
I'm ready this year at the new place for power outages!!

 

I second that. He's done a lot of work for us and is top notch, I highly recommend him.

 

I hear he likes finding bees in the yard.

 

What kinda work has he done for you guys? I've got some things around the house I've been meaning to address. Again it's typically stuff I do myself but now that I've got an infant and a 2 year old I'm finding it hard to do just about anything lol.

Jolly Green's still amaze with just some of their maneuverability given just how big they are!

Growing up down in Hampton Roads I didn't realize how much I was acclimated to jet and rotor noise (I LOVE JET NOISE!!), between Naval Air with the F-14s (man watching their wings move still amazes me) then the F-18s and even A/EA-6s, Air Force F-15s and then F-22s plus the local contractor used to run Saab Viggen's flying target drones against the 15s back in the day, then you have Helo School at Ft. Eustis...so it was an ever constant. Anyways I realized "something" was missing about 2 or 3 months into being off at college...all of a sudden a 737 flew relatively close and low past campus and I immediately realized "that air traffic noise" was what was missing!

 

And copperheads!

 

He can build and finish out an addition, new structure, deck, etc, including the concrete work. He was also an electrician for a while and can handle the electrical work himself.

 

Oh yeah! I forgot that story!

 

Nice! Boggles my mind that, the rotor disc is only turning at 224rpm. Found that out years ago. Thought the blades moved a lot faster than that.

Cools. I have always like aircraft. While the fast movers are cool, I dig the slow movers. always been a passenger in the Helo, and doors open is the best ride.

 

You haven't lived (or peed your pants) unless you've hung your legs off the open ramp of a Shit Hook.

 

Love it!
