Going Through Life One Post at a Time
Andy loves gooseberry pie. Today, I found canned gooseberries while looking in the canned fruit section at Moser’s. I was not actually looking for gooseberries, but there they were on the top shelf. I grabbed two cans and decided to surprise Andy with a pie.
He tried the pie tonight after he got home from his committee meeting. It was definitely two thumbs up! It looks like I need to go back to Moser’s to buy more cans for future pies…
I love watching this kid play.
Chapman Heating and Cooling was here at 7:50 am for install of the new, high-efficiency HVAC system.
They finished about 2 pm.
As part of the install, they added an air return in our basement and rerouted the flue. Also, they mounted the compressor on the foundation wall.
Now, we get to see what sort of difference the new system makes on our electric bill.
Over Memorial Day weekend, our air conditioner stopped working. Fortunately, it was mostly just really humid, so it was not a huge deal to not have it working. As it turns out, the fan motor was out, and that part could be replaced. However, our HVAC unit as a whole was 21 years old and original to our house. We discussed replacement of the unit versus fixing the fan motor.
After working with Chapman Heating and Cooling, the company that has been servicing our HVAC since we lived in our old house, we decided to go with replacement. We received a low-interest loan from the City of Columbia (1% interest over three years), and Chapman installed a temporary fan motor so we would have air conditioning until the day of install. Well, tomorrow is the day. Goodbye to our tired, inefficient HVAC. You did your job, but after 21 years, you need rest.
Whenever Andy stretches before a ride, Jim must stretch too.
I mounted the plaque on Laura’s Eagle Scout project today.
The plaque will probably be moved as EMS Education is going to paint and wrap the ambulance trainer, but, for now, it looks great above the side door!
