Vax Design

Mission Accomplished

This project was an interior build out of approximate 30,000 sq ft. We totally gutted all of the mechanical duct systems and some air conditioning systems. We had a very tight construction schedule as they all seem to be anymore, that''s okay, it''s what we do at Schwenn Services. Our new scope of work consisted of installing (14) new Carrier rooftop package units, with all new duct-work, exhaust fans & grilles. This job was completed on time and under budget.

Holy Land

Project Complete

This project was a design build project that was awarded to Schwenn Services by T & G Constructors. The Mechanical Engineering firm was Milan Engineering. We hit the ground running on this project, the original open date was November 2011, so needless to say we had a construction schedule of 6 months. The project consisted of (2) 150 ton Carrier Air Cooled Chillers, (6) chill water air handlers and (9) smaller fan coil units & miles of chill water piping, ductwork, one hot water boiler and a lot of determination.

Needless to say if you drive by Holy Land and see this beautiful round coliseum you will see that it is complete. Special shout out to Reggie Pomerleau, Kamil Darbouze and all the team support from Schwenn employees, material suppliers & subcontractors. This job would not have been a success it was without them.

Eating Out with Jeffry

Greek Village in Lake Mary
Greek Village is a great hole in the wall restaurant in Lake Mary. Greek Village serves authentic Greek cuisine. If you like eggplant, feta cheese, gyros, lemons, hummus, or lamb, this is the place for you. The small dining area consists of 10-15 tables and the kitchen is open to the dining room, allowing for all the wonderful smells to waft freely throughout the entire restaurant. For a totally authentic Greek experience, try the Tour of Greece and ask for a wine pairing. For an "American" version of Greek cuisine, try the Oven Roasted Chicken or Rib-Eye. Sides include Greek Roasted Potatoes, Mashed Potatoes, among other items and for a pleasant surprise, try the Greek Fries, the best fries from a restaurant not named Five Guys. Prices range from $5 - $21.
