And now that's done too

A/C has been PM'd. I was concerned for naught, apparently--tech said the unit is in great shape. He said that what really helped preserve it was the square of fencing--complete with gate--that Dad set up around it after it was installed. Dog urine apparently plays hell with A/C units, corroding the coils. IIRC, Dad learned that lesson when we lived in a rental years ago--the landlord split the cost of a major AC repair with us, and the reason for the repair was corrosion caused by dog urine.

My PSA for the day.

Human urine's corrosive, too--C5 transports were hauling around more troops than there were portable latrine facilities for, and the plane's main deck/metal flooring was suffering from corrosion from being urinated on. What the military did when when Air Force Materials Laboratory figured out what the cause of the corroding decking/floring was, was coat the deck/flooring with rubber coating.
