Common Signs That
You Need AC Repair in
Shellman Bluff, GA

Once springtime rolls around, it's very important that you keep your eyes and ears open for any potential warning signs that your A/C unit needs to be repaired. The last thing you need is to be caught off guard when June, July, and August are in full swing. Knowledge is power, and at Liberty Heating & Air, committed to keeping our customers in the loop about potential A/C repair warning signs. That way, you can take preventative steps rather than reactive ones.

 Heater Repair Services Shellman Bluff, GA
Loud-Unusual-Noises
Loud, Unusual Noises

Don't be alarmed if your A/C unit makes low-level noises throughout the day and night - these sounds are completely normal. However, if you hear loud, unusually abrupt noises coming from your unit, it may be time to have it repaired. Buzzing or rattling noises can mean a part is loose, while grinding or whistling can signal a more serious problem. Because these types of issues won't work themselves out on their own, a professional is needed to diagnose and correct the problem.

Strong-Odors
Strong Odors

If you notice strange, smelly odors permeating throughout your home, your first instinct may be to grab the air freshener. However, unpleasant odors can be a sign that your A/C unit needs attention. Our A/C repair techs will let you know what's going on and how a potential issue can be remediated with a quick diagnostic test.

Refrigerant or Water Leaks
Refrigerant or Water Leaks

Your A/C unit needs refrigerant to keep your home cool and comfortable when it's hot outside. It's common for condensation to accumulate as your system cools your home. With that said, if you notice pooling water or an active leak coming from your A/C system, it's time to call an A/C repair tech ASAP. Leaks can cause extensive damage to your home, and the problem needs to be addressed quickly.

Common Signs That You Need Furnace Repair in Shellman Bluff, GA

 Heating And Cooling Repair Shellman Bluff, GA

Today's heating systems are complex. At Liberty Heating & Air, our heating repair technicians receive ongoing training in all aspects of heating technology. That way, their skills stay sharp, and their techniques remain up to date. However, you don't need to be an expert to spot common signs that your heater may need to be repaired.

As colder months approach in Georgia, try to be aware of the following red flags:

Expensive Heating Bill

You're probably used to a more expensive electricity bill when winter hits Shellman Bluff. However, if you notice a huge price jump over last year's bill, it could be a sign that something is wrong with your heating system. Utility companies are known for raising prices gradually, but a dramatic leap is a cause for concern.

Uneven Heating
Uneven-Heating

Does your heater seem to work perfectly in some areas of your house but not others? Are some rooms too hot while others are drafty and cold? If so, your heater may need repairing. This is a common issue in older homes and requires an expert to inspect your heater and ducts for airflow problems.

Unhealthy Air Quality
Unhealthy Air Quality

If the air in your house is hazy no matter how much you dust, your heater may be the problem. A furnace that circulates mildew, dust, and other harmful particles isn't working correctly. This issue is particularly bad for people with asthma or respiratory illnesses. If you haven't changed your home's air filter recently, be sure to do so. If the problem persists, it's time to call Liberty Heating & Air.

New AC Installation
in Shellman Bluff, GA

You and your family depend on your home's A/C system to keep you cool and comfortable during the hottest months of the year. Unfortunately, breakdowns happen at the worst possible times - like in the middle of July when temperatures are over 90 degrees. If you have had to repair your A/C system more and more often, investing in a new cooling system will save you time and money in the long run.

As an Authorized Carrier and Goodman dealer - two of the most recognized and respected brands in our industry - we have the highest quality units available. We handle every aspect of your new A/C installation from start to finish. That way, you can focus on living your life rather than worrying about the next time your A/C goes out.

Curious when it might be time for a new A/C system?

Keep an eye out for these warning signs:

Dusty Furniture

 HVAC Shellman Bluff, GA

If you have kept your unit well-maintained and changed your air filter regularly, you shouldn't experience this problem. If you do, and your system is old, it can be more cost-effective to replace it and have your duct system analyzed to fix the root cause of your dust issue.

High Humidity

 HVAC Repair Services Shellman Bluff, GA

If it feels unusually sticky in your home, like you just spent a few hours outside in the summertime, there's a good chance that something is seriously wrong with your air conditioning. Your air conditioner's job is to pull moisture out of the air to keep your feeling cool inside. When that process fails, it can increase your risk of mold and mildew growth - and that's just the start.

Frequent Repairs

 HVAC Services Shellman Bluff, GA

When your repair bills end up costing more than a down payment on a new A/C system, it might make more financial sense to invest in a more modern unit. Compare how much it costs to have our maintenance technicians perform regular service vs. the cost of a new air conditioning installation. The results may surprise you.

Poor Max. All he was doing was helping clean up from the Labor Day weekend before everyone traveled home from a fun-filled weekend of food, football and a little boating.

We all have a system of cleaning up after our pilgrimage down to Shellman’s Bluff on the Georgia marsh. Dink and I usually get the boat out of the water to clean and Alison gives orders to anyone within her range. My guess is that Max just happened to be walking by and was handed a bag of trash to take out the Herbie Curbie. Max leaned on something and felt a nasty sting. The culprit was found, its picture taken and the photo shown to the only extension agent at the Riverhouse at the time, which just happens to be me.

The perpetrator in the photo was a cute little fuzzy caterpillar that would almost make a little kid want to adopt it. If you remember Cousin It from the Addams Family, that is a good comparison of how it looks. I knew immediately from the picture that it was a puss caterpillar (Megalopyge opercularis) and poor Max was not going to have a pleasant afternoon.

The puss caterpillar is the instar (a developmental stage of the metamorphosis of some insects) of the southern flannel moth which is somewhat common in late summer and early fall. The puss feeds on oaks, persimmon, pecans and other shrubs. The reason they look cute is because they have hairs, but the hairs are very deceptive. The hairs are what are referred to as urticating because they are actually made of a spiny barb that breaks off inside the skin when touched. Adding insult to injury, the spines are poisonous and are considered one of the most painful in the US caterpillar world. Again, poor Max.

To treat the sting, we used sticky tape to try and remove the spines. We added some cold compresses and Benadryl. We also applied a hydrocortisone cream. Max seemed to survive this sneak attack pretty well, but said the pain went from his arm all the way up to his chest. Luckily, the pain subsided in a few hours, but occasionally the pain from a puss caterpillar sting can last a couple of days and can include nausea. If the reaction does last a couple of days, a doctor needs to be called.

Campbell Vaughn:Now is the time to start preparing your lawns for cooler weather

The reason I decided to write about these stinging caterpillars is one: My poor 15-year-old buddy got a nasty sting from one. And two: I saw a picture of a man on a gardening website yesterday holding another stinging caterpillar in his bare hand asking for help trying to identify it. His post wasn’t of a puss caterpillar, but two saddleback caterpillars (Acharia stimulea) that were eating some of his garden.

The saddleback is really cool looking because it has these brown spiky horns with fuzzy little legs and a green “saddle” with a brown spot on its back. The saddleback is the larval stage of the slug moth. It is also a urticating caterpillar with two types of venom. One venom is hemolytic that breaks down red blood cells and the other is a vesicating venom which causes blistering. Nasty little guys if they want to be.

I am really hoping that the guy who was holding the two saddlebacks didn’t end up having a miserable night after handling those “cute” little caterpillars because it sure didn’t look like he was going to make it out unscathed. Be careful on what you grab and keep an eye out for kids in the garden. Max would probably agree that you don’t want to go what he went through.

The upcoming season 8 will have a fresh appearance as it prepares to launch as the post-apocalyptic thriller will now revolve around water.

What are open casting calls, and how do they work?

Open casting calls are auditions that anyone can apply for, whether you are an experienced or novice actor. There is generally no experience required.

Open casting calls for the 'Fear the Walking Dead' roles will be held on Saturday, June 25, and Sunday, June 26, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. There is a virtual submission option for those who are unable to attend in person.

Per production, casting director Bill Marinella will be present at the casting call and taking photos. The advised outfit ranges from modest and informal, to dressy and sophisticated.

Here’s what anyone planning to attend should know

Before attending, the production asks that you sign up at kaast.app/bmc/7-2022-3-2023-ftwd-survivor-open-call.

They are looking for adults aged 18 and above, as well as minors aged 10 to 17. All races and genders are being sought, per the casting call.

Filmed in Georgia:'Manhunter' brings the terrifying Hannibal Lecter to variety of Atlanta spots

The casting call notes you will need reliable transportation to the casting call, filming dates, COVID testing, and any other cast obligations.

In the meantime, get practicing on that zombie growl. Just think of the morning pre-coffee.

Obituary and service information from H.M. Patterson & Son-Spring Hill Chapel in Atlanta.

Jack was born to Elizabeth Shepley Brophy and John L. Underwood, III on July 18, 1962 in Atlanta. He passed away October 20, 2015 at Brighton Gardens of Buckhead in Atlanta. He attended McClatchy Grammar School, Sutton Middle School, Marist, Darlington and Galloway High Schools. From there he went to the US Marine Corps, then attended what was at that time Southern Tech. He married Jaqueline Pement and had two children, Daniel and Lauren.

He worked with the family company until 1987 and started Lockwood Marine in Shellman Bluff, Georgia with his dad. He had the misfortune to acquire severe injuries to both his head (TBI) and hip in an auto accident while in the city for the Atlanta Boat Show in 1992. Lockwood Marine continued on to become one of the top 100 boat dealers in the US of which he was very proud.

His health was plagued by these injuries from age 29 until his death. His life was further challenged this year by a brave but futile battle with Squamous Cell Cancer.

He was predeceased by both sets of grandparents, Elizabeth and Raymond Shepley of West Palm Beach and Ellen and John L. Underwood, Jr. of Atlanta -- also his most beloved and faithful dog, Bruno.

He leaves behind his two children, Stephanie Lauren Underwood and Daniel Levi Underwood (Lisa) plus his new granddaughter Martha Elaine. He also leaves his parents Elizabeth Shepley Brophy (Tom) and John L. Underwood, III (Bunny), brother - Douglas Mitchell Underwood, sisters - Ellen Elizabeth Underwood, Jennifer Rae Robbins (John) and Ann Beatrice Stephenson (Lori). Nephews Thomas and Boone Robbins and uncle Raymond Shepley, Jr. (Flo) complete the family.

The family requests that in lieu flowers, contributions in his memory be made to HART of McIntosh County, the county animal rescue shelter, if desired. The address is 1184 Animal Shelter Drive, SW – Darien, Georgia 31305. (hartofmcintosh.com)

The immediate family will gather in Atlanta for a celebration of Jack’s life, and a memorial service at the family marina near his coastal home will be announced later.

SHELLMAN BLUFF — This coastal fishing village has not changed very much since the ’40s when it had its beginnings. Naturally, it has experienced some growth, but it remains a village.

SHELLMAN BLUFF — This coastal fishing village has not changed very much since the ’40s when it had its beginnings. Naturally, it has experienced some growth, but it remains a village. It is the place that still attracts fisherman. When you come here, don’t get in a hurry. If you do, the locals might think you are up to no good.

For years, I have been making my way here to see John Donaldson, a former Georgia player and coach. John has slowed down, but his eyes light up when you talk fishing with him. His memory banks overflow with recollections of those days when every cast brought forth a keeper. Coolers overflowed. Laughter filled the air with anticipation of the fresh fish for the grill.

A lifelong friend of these waters, Donaldson started his fishing excursions at Shellman Bluff when he was growing up in Jesup. When he coached at the University of Florida, he spent his summer vacation at Shellman Bluff, renting a cabin and fishing every day.

There has been very little development at Shellman Bluff which is where Indians hung out in the past. It is located in McIntosh County, which has a link to Franciscan friars from Spain. Ruins of a Spanish fort and mission can be found on Sapelo Island, which is nearby. Closer to Shellman Bluff is Blackbeard Island, which is named for the great pirate who hid out in this area. “Coastal Georgia fishing,” says one promotional sheet, “is a true fisherman’s paradise.” Spend a little time here with seasoned anglers like John Donaldson, and you will agree.

Here not long ago, with cooler temperatures causing the natives to shiver, there was plenty of frivolity and laughter at Hunter’s Waterfront Café. Owned by Steve and Debbie Eason, the restaurant has been in business since 1951. According to Debbie, somebody hauled an old barracks to the bluff from Ft. Stewart to start a hunting and fishing club. Later it became a restaurant. A succession of owners have expanded the building by adding on over the years — “lean to” architecture if you know what I mean. There are screened in porches and a bar with alluring beer signs.

In the summer when there is a breeze off the marsh and you are thirsty, you can’t find a better place for imbibing and relaxing. To get to Hunter’s you have to follow one of the many dirt roads that lead visitors and residents down to the water. Parked outside Hunter’s, on a recent evening, were a number of pickup trucks. You wouldn’t expect to see a Lexus or a BMW at Hunter’s Waterfront Café. However, if the well heeled showed up for dinner, they would be warmly welcomed by Debbie Eason.

When our waitress Marie Harn came to take our order, I was ready without surveying the menu. I ordered fried shrimp. It would have been the biggest shock imaginable if fried shrimp had not been on the menu. “Oh, yeah,” Marie said. “We have fried shrimp, and we have plenty of it.” As an aficionado of friend shrimp, I’d have to say Hunter’s has about as good as I have ever eaten. Marie said we would regret not ordering Hunter’s key lime pie. “It is made by a local lady, Rita Lightsey, and nobody anywhere can make key lime pie any better.” Following Marie’s advice, we ordered key lime pie and headed home, convinced that Marie knew what she was talking about.

While waiting for dinner, I took a look around. My guess is that there is at least 700 to 800 dollar bills, signed and dated, tacked to the walls of the restaurant. “I really don’t know how it got started,” Debbie said. “Someone started it years ago, and we have people from five or six states away who come in, take out a dollar bill, sign it and add a message. We find a space on the wall and nail it up. We never really promoted the idea, but it caught on. Not long before we will run out of space,” she laughed.

Like Shellman Bluff, the passing of time has brought little change to Hunter’s which prompts many locals to raise a toast to that circumstance. Vistors, too.
