Nice job. Very hard work. Which state you install that? (I dont know why put that units on roof like that very pitching.. it will be very hard for service also. )
Yes, we made it ourselves. We do not sell them. There is a company out of Florida that sells them. They are aluminum and weigh much less than this one.
@@AaronPowellvox we fear things in proportion to our ignorance of them. If you’d spent the majority of your life like I have, creating complex solutions to otherwise simple problems, you would feel comfortable recognizing and mitigating risk and seeing the mission through. Not a single man on that roof felt uncomfortable or had fear(quite the opposite). If so, each of us reserved the responsibility and the right to call an all-stop to the operation. We breed men around here.
@@datscold4517 I’m just giving you a hard time man. I like the diy ladder crane. The freakiest part of your video was when you had the unit on a hand truck on the roof. I know how it is trying to save the customer money in renting a crane. Those things are so expensive. I’ve got a crane set coming up soon and believe-you-me if I could do it another way I would.
@@AaronPowellvox roger that, no worries here, i’ll defend myself till the day I die especially on the internet. I use a crane 99% of the time. In this case, as all others, it wasn’t about saving the customer money. Mardi Gras in New Orleans, this house was on the main parade route and no permits could be issued to block the street. We then looked at delaying the job. Then, measurements were taken to size the crane needed when we found out power line restrictions and live oak trees(protected here) prevented the boom angles. They don’t make a crane that could have made this lift. 4 other contractors bid this job and said it couldn’t be done. We gave a solution and charged $15k more than the highest bidder($5k extra for each condenser). Customer was renovating and stood to lose nearly $20k in airbnb rates for down time during mardi gras season. I did that math before bidding and came up with my cost. $65k job for 3 split systems. win-win
