We had to have work done on 1 air conditioner. I know there has been searches for reliable repair men by some of our fellow Gate Guards. Well I am very happy to report that there is a very good and reliable RV Service repair man in the area. I asked how far east he would go and he said as far as a good job wants him to. He will go to Tilden, Three Rivers, and George west I know because I asked him. He replace a motor and fan in my front air total for labor, service call and parts $367. My air never sounded this quiet before. He also has new air conditioners on hand should anyone want a new one put in.

He is good, quick and on time and very reasonable.

Please people take note....I had very good luck with this person and I am very happy with the work he did for me.But a very good friend of mine contacted him on my recomendation and came to an agreement, but hasn't been able to contact him, and leaveing messages and he is not calling back. If you need service and call this service man please don't do it because I was happy with him. Do so because you need service and good luck.
Note....I would still contact him if I needed something.

I used Norman and he did preform the work quickly and at a very reasonable rate.

Do the seasons make a difference when it comes to how many people apply for Gate Guarding?
In other words, is there an over abundance of winter Texans looking for work in December and a shortage of people to work come March or April?

BIG time....right now, you have a gate before you arrive. In the winter you may wait for a week or more for an assignment.

Good job! Don and Sharon-look us up when you get back. Good luck and safe journeys!!!!

Thank you Texan.

One thing I have not read on here is anything about pets. Our cat runs the other way when the door is opened but we have a small dog that likes to go outside as much as possible. She never leaves without a leash though.

Just wondering if the scent of a domesticated animal can bring out "unfriendlys" like snakes or coyotes in the more rural gates?

Most of us have dogs and have no problems. Yes, they can attract predators, but not a common thing. Some of the oil companies have a "no pet" rule, but it is more for the rig rats living in the crew house than the gate guards living in their own home. If the oil company is enforcing the rule, then you have the option of declining the assignment, without penalty. So don't let your dog be a deterrent.

Don & Sharon, you guys have a nice summer and we'll see you in the fall. They keep extending us on our gate and now say at least the end of July, before they close it.
