Default Snowman for RR & J. Pope

I know this has nothing to do with home inspections but with XMAS coming on I'm feeling bad for the Ca. and FLA boys that can not build a snowman. Made me think back when I was a pup going to refrig school we had to build a snowman in 100 degree weather and sit it on the sidewalk in front of the school as a project. Made 3 coils of copper in the shape of a snowman added Capillary tubes as various points for the coils of the evap. Had a 2 horse compressor and condenser remote back in the building using R502 (low temp) and operated this unit until it made 3 perfect balls of ice. Installed a hat and eyes thus a snowman in July Just have a hard time shipping.</IMG></IMG></IMG>

My snowman always winds up getting all wet when Ms Margarita and Dr Cuervo come to visit.

Don't feel sorry for me. I live here so I don't have to deal with snow! Besides, I am an hour's drive away from 5,000 ft mountains with plenty of the white stuff, and go up there to get my fix a few times each winter.

The last time I made a snowman, my dog pee'd on it and it died

I never want to feel that heartache again. . .

The last time I saw a snowman in California someone had added obscene appendages.

Never wrestle with a pig (however titled) as you just get dirty and the pig has all the fun.

Barry, there should be "incredible pictures of the year" award, and you'd win hands-down.

Barry that must truly be a heat pump with the defrost cycle not working. In all of my years I do not believe that have seen that high of an ice level.
