This Olde House I

The enthusiam produced with the installation of new wood windows last March quickly died in the heat of the summer. Unfortunately, so did my rooftop HVAC unit. That, coupled with an old, slightly leak roof and visible termite mounds has convinced me to get going.

First off, the 30 year old HVAC unit needed to be removed. How hard could that be?



The 100ft crane arrives to remove the old beast.


Up it goes. The palms are about 50ft tall.



And then between them...



Extended to 96ft, it retrieves the old unit.



And back through the palms.




Way over the palms. I think the operator is showing off.

Safely on terra firma and off to its final resting place.

Next up, the new roof.
