Dave's little dance when he got the new condensing unit on the roof killed me 🤣🤣🤣 keep the videos coming brother Dave 👍👍
😂😂😂😂
It seems like with those ladder cranes there’s always that one” oh shit” moment especially when you’re doing it by yourself
You handled it like a pro
Underbreath comment to self..."stupid hill billy trick" had me spewing pinot noir on the unsuspecting relaxed cats!😝
holy crap Dave's Crane 2.0 was a butt clencher.
way better than the first one but kinda scary when you have to dip it over and the balance changed.
Maybe if it was anchored to another tall ladder on the roof so you can be free to guide it? That's a dicey situation with all the balance on that post you are holding. It's acting like a fulcrum and it looked like you almost lost it.
plus if you had it rigged on it's own you could watch it come up so it doesn't have a chance to damage a customer's signage like it got hung up here.
phew stay safe, thanks for the vid!
Bro, you look like you've been losing weight and getting more fit. Good for you!
For those that think that charging a system with nitrogen is no different than charging with compressed air don't worry, welding (soldering, brazing) with no nitrogen doesn't make any difference. 🤣. Of course we know better than that. A little sarcasm for them if they're reading this. Of course they'll argue that the heat is what makes the difference, but heat merely speeds up the action of an oxidizer.
Anyway, Kudos for the nice piping work.
Love it. Chris calls cranes and tech support. Super tech Dave gets ladders and winches.
Nice trick to upload the condenser, I will try to make my own.
cal-man did not recognize you with your cut nice job as always
Another great one, when pulling the condensing unit up, it got caught and I thought it would fall off but your smart ideas made it get up safely. Nicely done Dave!
Looks like the crane is a modified ladder stand-off? Then some channel iron from the HD? Ok I think I’m going to hillbilly hi-tech one for myself. Thanks for the inspiration dude. Make more video sir. Looks like you avoided a ladder fail disaster. I considered one of those roofer ladder lifts but I think they only work on single ladders not extension ladders.
The turtle and bike ride to balance the work is an excellent way to show that its not all work and no play.
Really nice job. I use Testo but only wish their indicator lights were brighter on the accessories. I can ONLY imagine what the UA-cam police would of done if they watched us 30 yrs ago 🤯🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
We would have all been out of business in about a week.
@@johnbell6956 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for sharing your great skills, do me a favor and next time please show us rookies how brazing copper to stainless steel gets done. Thanks
Check my videos it’s on there somewhere
UA-cam doesn't like reggae...?what the...great video! La buena vida!
UA-cam can pick up the Reggae and Latin music and DQ your video like no other. It’s amazing.
good job my friend🛠️🛠️🛠️🛠️🛠️💪💪💪
Nice job! Some interesting things on that roof, a cooler and a surf board.
Ok that's it I'm moving to the USA ha ha ha just wonder how I could be a refugee ha ha ha .but series man love your videos thanks for always taking us along for the ride
Been doing 20-30 minute evacuations through the manifold for years with 0 issues 🤷🏻♂️. I just hook up my vacuum pump and let it rip by the time I’m done picking up my tools 20-30 minutes have passed and that does it for me . YT 👮🏻♀️ would pull me over if I posted a video 😀😂
👮🚔🚨🚨 lol
@@throttlebottle5906 are you pulling me over ? 😅
Card carrying member of the YT police here and you are a Multiple Offender lol!
😂😂😂😂😂
Love you style, keep up the great work 👍
I am definitely building one of those ladder cranes! That $hit is awesome!
What’s up Dave!!! It’s been a good minute, glad to see you still having fun and sharing the knowledge 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Looks like the "hillbilly crane" worked out well!! Nice Work!
Giving Steve Lav a run for his money with that silver weld. Nice!
I can give Steve a lesson or two mama 😂😂😂😂😂😂 errahh
Very neat job with great scenery at the end!!
Keep it up or maybe winch it up as that's easier 😂😂😂
Nice install ... It seems like it takes longer to set up for the job than the job itself ... Thx for sharing ...
Yes
I like the new intro more straight to it, less fluff. This ain't fancy TV this is YT where the content is king, we ain't here for the flash we here for the cash. Give us the content and give the content to us more quickly. Thank God you tried the low intro, just about right imho.
Some of my favorite jobs have been repairing Southern Pride smokers. Enjoy working restaurants that do BBQ. Love that smell!
now you need a brace for you ladder that cradles the parapet and keep it 3' out so you have to hold the chicken stick. Work smarter, not harder!
You have to pull it in to get cargo over roof.
Look at nor Cal Dave upping production..shots in front of the house and all that..lol...a very clean install as usual bro, although you almost got a ticket from the YPD, luckily they let you off with a warning this time...😃😃 a little bit of tweaking on the ladder crane and it will be right where you want to be.
I’m stepping up my video game for transition when I raffle off the van 🚐 and travel into 1 job sunset.
@@NorCal-refrigeration lol aite, got you.
@@NorCal-refrigeration are retiring 😢 from your private jobs?
@@jayzzz1234 it will be a while
Thanks for the video.
Show em how its done 💪💪💪👍👍👍
4 years out of a coil! Thats normal these days, they make the copper tubing thinner than paper.
Excellent solder job!
I was nodding my head at that solder.
Good weld at the valve, plus it looked like a nice cool day. Perfect for working.
Got there at 6 am
Fricking Legend David
Thanks Matt
Morning Dave hope you having a bless weekend great tech work
i have basically always evacuated and charged through gauges unless on a big rack system.
Same. I pull the cores and depressors to speed it up some but typically systems containing less than 10lbs I always use my manifold. Anything bigger the pump is going on overnight anyways and I use the biggest single hose with valve I can put on it.
This set up requires nor cal mind and strength 💪
That surf board was calling your name
Damn brutha you lookin like Thor 💪🏽. Love the vids as always . Sup with hack and moe where they been ?
Been busy. Hack n Moe will ramp up as soon as I slow down.
UA-cam police ha! I remember when the vacuum gauge was your thumb! Block vac pump exhaust for few seconds, if you didn't get a psssht moving your thumb away vac was done!
For us the old timers would go to lunch come back it’s done.
UA-cam police deesnuts haha! Good pressure test, good to go buddy. I put that shit on the pump all the time and let her rip to 100 mic or less and you’re good! I have senior techs that have been pulling to 500 on the pump for years without issues. I’m refrigeration at least we have over sized filter drier a lot of the time any way throw it on the pump and let er rip. Ice machine however pull legit mics haha there is a time and a place for everything my friends.
Nice 👍👍👍
wonder if / how you could rig a ladder stabilizer at the ladder base to avoid that whoa moment at the top of the lift,
Me gustan tus videos
Another great one ☝️ 👍👍👍👍
🤘⚡️🤘✨✨
Who plays the music starting at :47? I think I know but not sure.
Thanks for another great video!!
That was a little sketchy there for a wile...But it works!!!!
Hi bro from west Alabama peace and love
Talk to us about the ladder Crane I need one of those
Very good Dave. Abraços do Brazil.
Another great vid dave! You are the man!
"~~time to do some sketchy shit, do-dah, do-dah,
~~hope I get away with it, oh de do-dah-dey"
I know the surveillance team has me recorded doing that same little dance after getting away with yet another close call at my corporate (deleted TMI) facility.
Nice video, why @ 13:02 UA-cam doesn't like reggae music in the background
Nice job 👍 when your in Phoenix look up up
Nice SYF patch 👍🏻
Wow!! Nice lift action nice brazing job what did u use silver 8 s bright good vid again 👏👏👏👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻💦
56
Great job Dave but that ladder didn’t look safe as you pull up the condenser unit the ladder was bending .🤔👊Imagine 25 years ago of what we did was unsafe company’s model was get that job done no matter what it takes !
My L5-S1 can tell you all about pulling copelamatics to the roof with ropes. Great times. 😂😂
👍
Damn…. Did Harley Davidson start Sponsoring the channel? Nice ending!!
No UA-cam police here. Ya gots to do what ya gots to do. Nice changeout. I’ve done worse, glad there was no tubeville when I was working. No epa bullsh**. R12, 22 and 502. Did about a million gas and go’s. You deserve a long ride on your sled. Peace out.
I remember using R-12 to blow out coils. Back in the 80’s. Great times.
@@NorCal-refrigeration I preferred r22 for blowouts. As I remember it was about $24.00 for 30 pounders
Nice job! Nice scenic drive . Grand Canyon?
💪👍🇺🇸❄🎤🎸 great vid. Was condensing unit pre-charged with nitrogen or compressed air, like u mentioned in previous vids. Thanks again Dave.
No idea
Did you get the old CU down off the roof? Saw it sitting in the back corner.
What do you like about the fieldpiece recovery over the appion
Hey ! on first solder @10:20, where copper connects to the stainless valve, did you solder it on nitrogen purge ?
How many lbs of refrigerant did you put in ,Da?
So was that the wide angle lens only giving the impression that the ladder was bowing inward? or had your engineering mindset already carefully calculated the deflection rate of extended fiberglass with only two rungs of overlap?
Just ribbing! Thanks for all the ride-a-longs; HVACR and personal.
GoPro magic
I'm guessing you were at Coles BBQ
Are those Emerson units made in Thailand?
I think they still make cargo nets for a reason.
Hi David. I'm a contractor in Florida, Where Can I buy the electric winch that you used to lift the condenser unit. Love your videos!!!!!
Amazon
I have a question about a condenser for a walk in cooler that is randomly tripping the breaker! It’s a max fuse of 20 amp 208 volt I put a spp6 on it and it seems to run longer. Tripped 2 times in 3 months. My question is how do I sort out what exactly is causing this? The RLA is 9 amps and the compressor is pulling 11-12 amps. It’ll start out spiking and then settle down to 14, then about 11 but why the random tripping? The breakers were also replaced to eliminate them being the issue. Any direction on this would be much appreciated
Love your videos
You could try new starting components and then check your amp draws it could be that the compressor is internally worn out, but if your voltage is good and your star components are good. You could check your head pressure make sure it’s not overcharged and that’s about it really.
Make sure there’s not too much of a load on the box while it’s running it’ll pull higher amps if the box is hot
Thank you so much for replying! I appreciate your guidance it’s an old r12 unit with a potential relay. Checked caps and just flat out don’t have a lot of experience with these type of compressors. I repair kitchen fridges mainly. They wanna replace it but my fear is if I replace system and it still trips breaker
For silver solder did you use the use flux coated rod
No
Great video Dave, do you guys get pre coated flux and silver solder rods in the US? In the uk thats what i use for brass and weird metals, i find they’re great for it. Nice weld though 😎😎
We do. But I’m so used to the old way I still use the 56 and flux.
@@NorCal-refrigeration Must be nice! Over here 5% is a delicacy only pros have.
Side show Bobs use 0% even...
How about that ball valve on the hose ? Vacuum rated ? Never seen one hold vac perfect.
Doubt it is.
How much can one charge for a job like this??
This feels like from 2010 for some reason
Super Tech Badge pulled again? ha
Hi Nor Cal Dave I like your videos 👍 but do you think it’s much more safer if you have another bloke can give you a 🤚 in times like that? 🧐 I don’t wanna see yo get 🤕
Absolutely
How much freon did it take 🤔
Why so many trips up the ladder and not use a hook just to fish everything up?
Nevermind you answered my own question lol
Stop ✍️wasting✍️money✍️on✍️a✍️crane 😃 got it!
Crane 1200$ week days only now.
always stop @ this loction for ribs
So many broken walk ins to fix dang $$$
how come no outdoor condensing unit ? 🤔
Well that didn’t kill you, not for lack of trying
How long did it take you by yourself?
Started at 6am done by 11:30
@@NorCal-refrigeration Nice, really quick considering you had no helper. Took me like 2 hrs to pull an evap coil today and clean it. Granted it was in a 15 story condo building and you gotta worry about the damn fire sprinklers going off when brazing inside lol. Guess location is everything
How much for the surf board on the roof?
Free. If you get up there. Lol
👮🚔🚨🚨 🚨🚨 pull it over. lots of youtube police moments in the video. lol 🙃🤣
Was it OSHA approved.lol
I thought I saw a surfboard on roof
Look at that, Skinny Dave can now afford a second cameraman for his first shot leaving the house.
Also, surfboard on the roof?!
you need a assistant man
Putting the stat right over the BONN logo is giving me a panic attack
up the ladder - down the ladder, up the ladder - down the ladder, up the ladder - down the ladder. repeat infinite, I hate ladders and stairs anymore, people bragging about their step meters and how far they've walked. pffffft, even on a day of not working, I probably beat them by triple. 🤣
2018? wow that must be shitty quality. the evaps we pull are 20years old
The 20 year old ones had thick copper. The new recycled thin wall crap is terrible
Hooowww dare you forget blah blah whatever
Hahahaha
Your audio level is extremely low even with the volume set as high as it will go
Might help if you stop speeding lol
This is a joke comment for people that don't understand jokes
Janky lift
To the Max!
