For those of you that might wish to help, I can ALWAYS use some assistance in installing the Air Conditioner in the rear of the Cherryville transmitter building.

I'll be up there this evening (Sunday), Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and, if necessary, Saturday.  Time will generally be shortly after 7pm or a bit earlier depending on the temperature and weather.  I'll be on 737 about 30 minutes prior to arrival (with the obligatory stop at Wa-Wa) so best to look for me on the air prior to making the trip.

At this time, I'm looking for someone to:
 - manage a rope (to take up some of the 20+ pound weight of the saw), 
 - manage a "push stick"(help hold the saw flat against the wall),
 - act as an "eyeball"/"squirter" (watch things and spray the blade with water).

Of course, someone big and strong could also help man the saw itself - I'll squirt, rope, push or just stand back and supervise...

Remember - if the amp melts down again, we'll revert to low power and limited coverage while the amp is out for another 2 month trip to the left coast for an expen$ive repair.  The air conditioner may help prevent another meltdown but only if we get it in and working before December.

To come:  
 - Carpentry to frame out the hole and fit the casement,
 - Electrical to bend and run conduit from the box to the new outlet by the A/C unit.
