Lifting an A/C Condensing Coil 9 feet off the ground

Use your knees, not your back.

Well obviously, push the old one off. You'll probably never get to do that again.

Next, I would find a cow trailer to work off of.

They don't weigh much so as long as you have a friend or two, you should be able to haul it up. Can take the top off that holds the fan to make it lighter then reassemble in place. Once that's done you can work on those screens and invest in some Jomax.

You still haven't cleared the tree limbs away?

Looks like my tool rental place has something similar to a Genie lift. That may be an option. The screens were fixed shortly after the tornado. There is a porch swing with chains and two hood springs connected to the rafters. The 100+ mph wind from the tornado must have had that swing dancing. It was bouncing of the screens and framing. Surprised it didn't destroy the swing.



Lost most of my trees
Looking from house down gravel drive

Pick-up, 2 - 2x12s, two friends.

Pics are from 2 years ago. Only pics I could find showing location of A/C unit. All the trees were removed and repairs made in May/June of 13.

Pic of pontoon boat shows it barely fits under house. So I was thinking put A/C in boat, position trailer under A/C platform, lift in place from boat.

They aren't that heavy. Use ropes from the roof.

Actually pretty easy this way.
