Rant and Rave Venting...

[cueandcushion]

The past few nights have been so nice and clean. After months of trying to get new parts and dealing with repairmen etc.....We FINALLY have all 3 air conditioners working...AND finally have all 4 smokeeaters working at full capacity. The room has been getting colder now that the smoke has been eliminated. I had forgotten now nice clean air is. Our smokeater parts took forever so 2/4 were down for months. One air conditioner was breaking down on a weekly basis so that didnt help matters much. It only took 3 different repairmen and a wheel barrow full of money to fix the damn thing. This week has been like heaven. Hopefully, everything keeps running well the rest of the summer. It was frustrating beyond description...and on top of that having to listen to everyone about how warm it was or how smokey it was. When you are truly making an effort to make your place better and you get nothing but criticism...it definitely gets to you after a while. No feedback necessary...just venting my frustration of the past few weeks. It has morphed into optimism now with many new projects I have going to make my room better.

I feel your pain Craig, we replaced two air conditioners in may. Nice feature for the sale tho...
Got your email, I hope your good business bodes well for all of us, maybe the heat will drive them indoors.

I feel for you. The local room I usually shoot at has 1 air conditioner (window type) to cool the whole place. The last few times I have played it was like a sauna and you really couldn't concentrate on much of anything else.

So, this weekend I drove 40 miles to Ball Busters in Binghamton to shoot in some nice AC conditions. Only cost me dinner and a movie with my fiancee though

Glad you got everything fixed.

May I make a suggestion? It is much cheaper to perform preventative maintenance on AC's than breakdown repairs. You may find a player AC mechanic who will barter with you. The same thing applies to restaurant refrigeration equipment. I know because I have been in the business for 20 years.
