I referred our go to Dallas tech wizard (Evan the Pinsmith) to some friends that inherited an old Grand Prix EM and just wanted it working again. Evan agreed to take the job and the pic below is what he found when he showed up. He arrived around 1pm and had the thing fully cleaned and working by 11pm. I’m not sure he is going to take my referrals anymore. Lol.

You guys ever seen a cab this infested with dirt dobber nests?

Quoted from Frax:

I live by a creek..in this area....and we don't even get anywhere near that many mud dauber nests in the carports and whatnot around us.
That's TOTALLY BATSHIT, and hell no, I would not want to be the one working on that. I don't know how in the hell he got that done in 10 hours, but I'd love to see an "after" picture....

Totally agree. Evan is a machine and obviously went way above and beyond for this family. They are very grateful. I couldn’t believe it when he sent me the pic. I felt bad! Lol

Quoted from SilverballSleuth:

I’m sorry - I’m from New England - what the HOLY FAHCK are those monstrosities!?!?

I’m dying laughing at this man. Made my day. Edit: Guess I should explain. They are "mud" or "dirt" dauber nests. They are wasp looking like creatures that are all black and build those things from dirt/water for nests. Look like alien pods.

Quoted from jackd104:

Wtf is a dobber

I misspelled it which is perhaps the point of your post. It’s dauber.

I'd pay to see a time lapse video of that cleanup

Good call. That would be sweet:

Quoted from Jjsmooth:

So...what was the final bill on that service?

I don't know what the cost was but do know that Evan honored his initial quote (which was given without seeing the inside). Thankfully, I think the owners paid him more.

Quoted from BLACK_ROSE:

Bet Evan used a pressure washer , then a blOwer to dry it .. Most likely NOT , but to get all the mUd nests out and shoped and working in 10 hrs ,, WoW
