Catalyst, SWMBO and their duplex next door neighbor really know how to wake up the neighborhood.
Actually it's our landlord and their management company that did it.
Today was the day when our HVAC units were replaced.
That involved two technicians who went up and down a ladder to the roof many, many times.
And this thing.
It arrived at about noon and was soon anchored in our driveway.
The reason for those heavy-duty anchors extending from the four corners of the truck soon became apparent.
The crane operator skillfully lifted our new "heater/cooler" effortlessly into the air, up, up, up and onto the roof.
The techs were there, having scrambled up the ladder again, to guide it into place, unlash it and wrap up the old unit.
The entire intricate dance was then repeated as my neighbor, Bill, had his unit replaced.
Can't determine if he looks like Damon from that view, but sounds like you made his day.
ReplyDeleteI think it pleased him.
DeleteNo idea, but if guys resembling Clooney, Pitt, and Cheadle were around too, you might have a heist on your hands.
ReplyDeleteReally!
DeleteHe kind of does but it's hard to tell. I didn't realize how they replaced those units; they do look big and heavy though!
ReplyDeleteThey're big but I don't think they're that heavy.
DeleteIt was actually Jason Bourne trying to take over something and he was using your roof as a lookout!
ReplyDeleteI hope the truck wasn't blocking your driveway for a long time.
ReplyDeleteMaybe about an hour and I had nowhere to go.
DeleteI was so amazed when I moved to AZ from MI that those units were installed on the roofs. I had never seen anything like that in my life. In MI, the furnace was in the basement and the a/c was in the yard at the side of the house.
ReplyDeleteI think the climate makes the difference.
DeleteHe looks like Matt Damon playing the part of a construction worker supervisor...with a beer belly.
ReplyDeleteOperating those things can't be easy, I wonder how many units they've dropped before they get the hang of it?
It's a poor picture. He definitely didn't have a beer belly. And I said "Looks like you've done this before." He responded, "Once or twice." I said, "I'm glad mine wasn't the first!"
DeleteWere you supervising in a hard hat or bathrobe?

Neither and these guys definitely didn't need any supervision. Very efficient.
DeleteLooks like you had quite a day there, and then to also have a Matt Damon look alike doing the work, that's wild!
ReplyDeleteWe do try to entertain.
DeleteOh yes.... there is a resemblance with Matt Damon.
ReplyDeleteHave a Safe and Happy Year.
That's more exciting than a Ben Affleck lookalike eating a sandwich behind the wheel of a stretch limo on the Save A Lot parking lot!
ReplyDeleteI don't know, Val. Those Bah-stahn boys do get around, don't they?
DeleteLots of excitement at your house. New air conditioning and movies stars all in one day.
