EXCITEMENT

 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.




My aging eyes may have been betraying me but I told Judy I thought the head tech resembled Matt Damon and I asked him if he'd ever been mistaken for the Hollywood star.

He said no but it was a nice compliment.



What do you think?

Now THAT would have really turned the neighborhood upside down!
