I figure it'd probably be best to answer the questions in the next blog? I think?

Soooo to MD, I was born here yep and have lived here all my life. Although, both my parents were born in Ohio and they moved down here before they had my sister and I. So in a way that doesn't make me a "true" Floridian but I've not known much of anything else. Last time I seen snow was in Ohio when I was aboutttt 10 or 11 years old I think.

Smo4 lol. I am not sure exactly when I'll post pics. Maybe sometime soon but then again I've had this account for ages and not got around to it sooooo we'll have to see. Not like you're missing out on toooooooooo awful much anyways tongue.

Worked on a 16 year old a/c today. It was an older stubborn man who owned it but he works as a maintenance guy for one of the religious schools i do a/c work for so he's a decent guy all things considered. I explained to him that the average life span of an a/c in the state of florida is anywhere between 10 and 15 years. He had a leaking evaporator coil sooooo it was a semi-large repair for a residential unit, financially anyway. Quoted him the price of a new coil vs the price of a new indoor unit vs the price of a new complete system. I explained the warranty situations and everything to him. To make things short the cost of replacing the evaporator coil was right around half the cost of getting the inside enitre inside piece replaced. (what we call the air handler) He still decided to go with the coil though... I'll be interested to see how it all stands up for him as we get on into summer time. Not saying that I didn't repair it to the best of my ability ect ect. There are just a million other things on it to break besides that.

All things considered everything went well today, got some paper work out of the way this morning too but there is still a mountain of it. I'm sure as everyone knows, its just that time of year. I have no doubt that I'll get it done though, just not something I completely look forward too. Its been gettin up to what seems to be 80 here during the day pretty regularly, if all this keeps up I might got to the beach this weekend or something. We'll have to wait and see how things play out.

As I said in last blog, questions are welcome on pretty much anything. A/C advice to personal questions to whatever happens to float your boats haha. Either way I'll more than likely be in chat lil bit later sooooo adios til then.

I think being born here is enough to make you a "true Floridian". Sure I am third generation born and bread, but hey you gotta start somewhere :)
