Western RACE

On Saturday, we held our inaugural Western R.A.C.E. Trade-Off Day⚡️❄️

It was Sparkies vs Fridgies, as the guys spent the day doing various activities to earn points, though they didn’t know how the points were earned. There were some “fines” as well, with points deducted for some dodgy antics.

The day started with a few hours on the river thanks to Thomson River Bbq & Fishing Pontoon hire . As they boarded the boat, it was a lucky dip for Shirt of the Day, with no one needing to pay the fine for refusal to wear what they pulled out of the bag. They immediately loaded up their personalised Yetis thanks to Sharyn at Longreach Embroidery & Sewing. We had no luck with the fish, but plenty of fun was still had, with a few funny moments that we will be laughing about for years to come (some didn’t feel quite so funny at the time 😆)

Next we hit up the Tavern for darts and pool, which progressively got harder to watch 🫠 There was plenty of competition between the team, with some a little less humble than others…

Our afternoon looked a little rocky for a moment thanks to the recent rain, but we are very grateful for Cal and the Longreach Golf Club for saving the day and opening up the Driving Range for us. ⛳️

In terms of who won the day with the most points, I don’t really need to tell you - he’ll let you know 🤣 Jett came out on top by only half a point - which we put down to the gherkin he ate off the floor of the boat… it literally came down to a pickle 🥒

The day was an early get-together before Christmas sneaks up too close, as our industry gets pretty busy this time of year. But it was also to farewell someone who has been an important member of not only our team but also the Machin family.

Liam came into our lives by chance in February, when he got stranded from flood waters on the way from Sydney to Darwin. He asked Matt for some work while he was stuck here, and just never left 😆 He moved in with us, and got to live his pilot dreams of flying people on tours while he was here. He shared his time between the air and with us a sparky, which was such an enormous help for us.

We are sad to see him go, but we know he’ll be back one day. For now, he’s off travelling and we wish him safety and lots of fun.

For the rest of us, we’ll just be hearing about Jett’s win for the next 12 months, until someone else tries to take the top spot and take home the Western R.A.C.E. Trade-Off Cup. 🏆

We're looking for our new team member❄️

Give us a call if you, or someone you know, might be interested and we can go through more details.

🐯 Good luck to our apprentice, Jett, in his first Grand Final playing for the Longreach/Ilfracombe Tigers tonight! The game falls in the middle of his TAFE block, so he’s made the 700k trip home for the weekend to be there for his team, and back to Townsville tomorrow 💪🏼

We’re very proud to be sponsors of the Tigers again this year, and we can’t wait to cheer you all on tonight 💙❤️💛

It’s a special day for our apprentice, Jett, as he celebrates his 18th birthday. 🍻

Jett is an asset to our team, and is shaping up to be a great tradie. He’s easy going, respectful and goes with the flow of our pretty chaotic life 😆

We appreciate him for who he is, and the important part he plays in our team. ☺️

Enjoy your day off, no air cons today ❄️

Happy Birthday, Mate 🤙🏼

Some recent installations of new or replacement split systems from Mitsubishi Electric...

Placement of the outdoor unit depends on many factors, such as distance from indoor unit, space available under or around the house, weather conditions, air flow, and access for maintenance, repairs and cleaning.

When mounting the outdoor unit, we will consider the most suitable method based on the relevant factors for that installation. Sometimes it will be a ground-mount on a poly slab, or wall-mounted on brackets, or we may need to fabricate a support frame from scratch specifically for that unit.
