    The noise wasn't bad just got tired of putting it back on the pad.
    Never argue with a crazy man.

    Sweat- the blocks used to be at the bottom to prevent that.

    So now that's uh....1002 uses for cinder blocks. I think that has passed duct tape now. I always keep a few in the van.

    Cinder blocks are to hold the unit down when the hurricanes hit.

    HaH, Funny. I put mine up on cynder blocks ten years ago because I planned on refinishing the concrete that it sits on and it is still like that. My wife says it's on the top of the honey do list.

    Funny how the stuff at our own houses always sits unfinished. Half the mechanical systems at my house would qualify for Wall of Shame photos. I just get it going and then run out the door to deal with everybody else's stuff.

    I keep saying that I am going to spend my retirement fixing my own crap that I've ignored for years.

    I LOVE my isopads and tapcons. I'll shoot a few down as well at times, but it's an easy twenty minutes of work and a negotiable price for straight profit. Then sell him a couple of locknuts and insulate the suction line, tape the ends, spray paint it white and collect my money. I'll do that all day long. Funny though, at my house I have three of those lawn sprinkler rings on top of my unit...I WILL get to it one day...Just going to have to find where the slab is under all the leaves branches and muck...

    At least the installer put them with the correct airflow section up like air filters. On an other note I have window shakers, its old, small and paid for, never got around to install a central, my customers tell me that I probably have a super central system but I don't have the heart to tell them the truth, my brother has a sign shop but has no sign for his shop, my other brother is a mechanic and his car is always stalling everywhere, my oldest brother has a small car lot and is always asking for a ride he is too cheap to use his own gas from his lot of cars, btw they are all step brothers.

    At least they set the blocks the right way, to minimize air blockage. With all that weight it wont be long before the sheet metal lid holding fan motor gives way and fan will most likely eat the coil. Ive seen it happen to goodmans with no extra weight on top, but blades could have been out of balance.
