karlunity Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 Fellas. We decided to get the street side fence replaced. It was 20 years old and looked it..so we call the fence guy 2300 bucks but we get a back gate!!! OK, it looks much nicer....But then the Air con unit dies..it was one month out of warranty!!!: ( 1750 bucks more.....gad..I could get a case of 7.62/39 for that...well, half a case. Still the Hippy and Tawny the cat are well and I got half a six pack in the icebox ..so life is good. karl... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sailormilan2 Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 You got a good deal on that A/C unit. When I replaced mine 3 years ago, that was the price for mine................with my brother's dealer's discount. I am afraid to see what it would have been without the discount.

Not sure what units y'all are repairing or replacing but last week I replaced our two original 3 ton, R-22 "builder-grades" that died together right on cue after 10 years. Both evaporator coils leaked excessively over the winter (3lbs and 5 lbs.) after having been topped off late in the summer last season. I replaced these two "split systems" ( interior evaporators and exterior condensers and compressors; everything but ducts and furnace) with SEER 13, R410A systems for right at $13k. Back in the day a/c's lasted 20 years. I also purchased a professional-quality french horn for $2,200, the asking price (regular $3,500+) from a young "struggling" musician/student. I'd say I've done more than my bit for the economy... and will likely lose my job in the next few months. Not sure what I'm thinking but it seemed like the right thing to do under the circumstances.

BradD Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 Bob, you play the french horn when not doing gun work or your day job? This is indeed a diverse group. BO would be proud, if we just paid more taxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BO would be proud, if we just paid more taxes. Actually, my 15-year old son does. He's rather "accomplished" for his age. Currently he uses a medium-quality school horn and plays in a few different bands/ensembles/orchestras. We wanted to make sure he had a "lifetime horn and wanted to help some other folks. Me, I can't even read music but I'll bet we do have some real musicians on this forum. Like you, I have no interest in paying more taxes.

AzRednek Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 Geez!! I thought I had it bad after my lawyer called saying he needed another $1500. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlunity Posted May 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 1500!!! And you don't even GET a fence. There is a story that when Oglethorpe started Georgia he said that he would accept all manner of rogues and whores as all deserved a second chance only LAWYERS were to be banned. karl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
