    Only Perk on this job was the work...fresh install of four RTU's so there were no old ones to scrap. Cut holes in the roof, set up curbs, sparky will run power to our disconnects and we will take it from there...still have to run natural gas lines to them.

    It's F'n hot out there and business is good. This compressor weighs in at just under 700 pounds and was in a RTU about four stories up and blind to the crane operator. The core charge is around $3.5k so no scrap just labor to replace...but a reminder to do some research before scrapping larger compressors.

    I think that picture is my wife in a crane trying to drop a compressor on my head to give me a concussion so I finally stop putting scrap in our nice back yard.
