Coogan Rocks!
So for those of you who paid attention, Coogan and Gildersleeve is my best referrer. They gave me all my local Dryer Ventilator solo projects. I finally made a step to make good with them today. I brought over a bin of "Two Bite Brownies" (purchased at A&P) to the service desk over there (along with a handfull of cards - they must be about to run out). The dude who took the cards was cool. He actually came to my residence to try to fix my old fridge (it was dead BTW), and he was happy to get the treats and cards. It was cool and easy. Those guys at Coogan are way cool!

Thank you Coogan and Gildersleeve!
Another fine referral from Coogan and Gildersleeve! Thanks guys! You rock!
Today I just somehow knew I would get a call for Dryer Ventilator work. I actually came back into the house to get my folder for invoices/receipts for DV before leaving the house. And it turns out I was right. While I was doing my first appointment for Dr. Dryer Vent, I got a call from someone I didn't know in a number I believed to be local to Mystic. And I was right!
It was a guy who needed his vent replaced. It was plastic and the hood wasn't working any more. The hood was an old metal one which was just super dirty. It turned out to be easier to replace it with a nice new plastic white one. I put an elbow, two sections of straight pipe, and a bit of flex to hook up to the dryer. No problem! Plus the inside of the dryer was really dirty.
The people were, of course, really nice. The man of the house was an older retired gentleman, who was there the whole time with me, both chatting and helping out. He even helped me a lot by filing away a little bit around the existing hole he had so it would fit my new hood assembly. Way above and beyond the call of duty for a customer, and it also saved me a ton of time and problems. I actually need one of those coarse files he had! The woman kept pretty quiet, taking care of business upstairs on the phone answering messages and then cleaning a bit, but she was really nice too.
It is always so nice to get to meet new people who are so friendly and genuinely good people.

Thank you Coogan and Gildersleeve!
I did two of my own jobs last week, both thanks to the good folks at Coogan and Gildersleeve! One in Groton Long Point, and one in Groton. Both were great jobs to do, where I solved real problems for people. And both people were really nice to work for, and in nice places to live.
The first one in GLP was filled with lint, like 20 feet worth of lint in a 6 foot run. Plus the vent turned out to be disconnected midway between the dryer and the tailpipe (where it comes out of the house). I ended up fixing that, cleaning up the vent and dryer thoroughly, and making sure the transition vent (connecting the dryer to the wall) was very well connected.
The second one in Groton was replacing an old, dirty, unsafe plastic vent with good straight metal pipe. It was actually a mobile home, and I was crawling around in the dirt under the home doing the vent. I would say I'd rather be there than up in an attic with scratchy insulation. That lady was really nice, and I was happy to be able to help her out.
It is nice to get paid to help people like this, and to meet all sorts of different and new people that I would otherwise not be likely to meet.
