Photo Story - HVAC Contractor: It's a Dirty Job and Joel Salinas is the Man for It.

Joel Salinas takes a few moments to take a break from his work as an HVAC Contractor to get a Gatorade from his work van. Salinas works for Evergreen Heating & Cooling.

Salinas has to clean up the dry wall he cuts out of the walls, to install new vents for a forced air system.

Salinas is proud of his one-handed dry wall scrap balancing skills, saying his girlfriend would be proud because she's a server at a restaurant.

Salinas shakes the bits of insulation and dust from himself, next to a pile of supplies he'll be using to do the installation. Being an HVAC Contractor is a dirty job. 

Salinas looks through the hole he's cut in the ceiling for the air return to check the measurements he made inside the tight attic space, before the hole was cut.
