    I give you props for doing the installs by yourself especially when you have 2 broken ribs. Shows how dedicated you are and loyal to these customers and give them heat. It's nice to have another guy around to make it go a bit easier but in this field you deal what your dealt with and make it work. Work smarter not harder. Great video

    My buddy just passed his state licensing exam today in Ca. He enrolled in one of those "pass or don't pay schools." He wanted to be totally prepared when took the test. A total waste of money according to him. He studied long hours to prepare for the test. I quizzed him and he did exceptionally well. He said that after ALL the work he put in, at the most were maybe 5 questions on the test that pertained to what he had studied. I would say he was more upset about that, than he was happy that he had passed the test.

    Omg that is going to be a hard one, but makes formidable challenge once you do those once in a while. We used to replace those with package units instead, when I used to work for a company.the gas furnaces where a nightmare to remove and then cover the hole, customer would have a new closet.but then we had run flex duct underneath the home and add a new return.omg.i was in my 28s.

    Not sure what type of saw blades you use for your circular saw and sawzall but I love the Diablo blades. They cut through stuff like butter and last awhile for me.

      The blade in the sawzall was a Diablo. It ate right through screws as well

    I really hope there was added cost to the flooring you done? Usually when I install in trailers I would tell the owner that there could be hidden floor damage and I won't know til after the unit is out and either I'll repair at an additional cost or they can pay a flooring guy.

    Have a question. I bought an older 3 bed 2 bath 16x80 manufactured home made in 1992 anyhow I went with a gas package unit instead of a split system. I have 9 registers but want to upgrade all the duct work as it’s falling apart and would like to know what size duct work to go with on supply side . I went with a 16 inch on return with a 20x30 filter grille
