We weren't playing in the mud...

[michelle]

Okay, we might have been.

[-stew-]

Too dirt cheap not to buy. Looks all original. Should clean up very nicely and I should turn a decent buck on it. I think it's ugly, but other people like them.

sweet gt500 that came into work very nice guy

[Lash]

Is that the one that has the chrome trim around tail lights? I think he works at GE electric ave.
I didn't think real GT500's came with those tails.
Made me wonder about the authenticity...


Edit:
This style

[lilws6]

I don't recall if it had chrome trim around the tails. it's got a nice set of brembo's with two piece rotors in from and a bbk exhaust that rattles lol

Helicopter pick on my job today to set hvac units. It's always fun doing these. We set 31 units in 70 minutes.

What's the hourly cost on something like that vs a crane?

[Lash]

They charge per pick. This one is $250-500 per pick (depending on weight) with an $8k minimum. We were well above that.
They don't make a mobile crane that could reach some of the units. It's hard to tell but 4 football fields can fit inside this building (640'x320'). Even if we could reach with a crane, the helicopter did in 2hrs what would have taken at least 2 days with constantly moving a crane.

don't see many of those copters around anymore...didn't one crash in wisconsin in the late 80's doing the exact same thing?

[Lash]

They are Sikorsky s-58t helicopters.

Yup, in '86 one did crash at Bay View Terrace.
I actually did the replacement on that exact same job last year. We had to use this instead of a helicopter. This is one of the largest mobile crane in the world. It has 197' of main boom plus 190' of jib boom.

[Prince Valiant]

Where was this?

[-stew-]

Bayview Terrace. I'm not sure if they're condos or apartments. Off Superior and Russell.

[Lash]

The Helicopter was in Pleasant Prairie at the new Meijer distribution facility.

[Prince Valiant]

question answered. thnx

[0TransAm0]

Damn that crane looks scary as hell.

[Prince Valiant]

Here was the crash...

[Lash]

We found a video that someone took from the roof. It's a whole different feel standing in the exact same spot in the roof while watching it.

Here's the unit that they eventually put up there, except we're taking it back down...lol.



And the old chiller coming out of the penthouse..
