It is beautiful weather here today. Typical windy 20 MPH but mid 60s.
Back in the days before digital we had a full B&W photo-lab here. It is still there, it is just a storage room now. The processors put out a lot of heat so the owner added a second AC unit to cool just the photo-lab. Within a few weeks of the installation some low life thief stole the compressor. The owner had the unit replaced but used his typical overkill solution. He had a 10 foot tall fence with barbed wire on the top put in to surround the compressor. It had a lock and a system cover that made it a real challenge to cut the lock off. It was never stolen again.
Now 30 years later the darkroom is a store room. The refrigerant all leaked out of the compressor long ago. It has the schrader valves and was easy to see if there was any pressure. So now we will just cut the lines and put that old compressor on the front lawn along with the old fence.
I brought my saws all and we cut off the posts and the fencing. Several trees have grown up inside that area since we could not mow there. Those trees were big enough to rub on the building. Just Mulberry trees so junk trees. Those are cut up and going away as well.
