I love watching this kid play.
New HVAC
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.
HVAC
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.
Stretching
Whenever Andy stretches before a ride, Jim must stretch too.
Plaque
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!
Happy Father’s Day!
Happy Father’s Day to the man who decided after nine years of marriage that maybe having kids wouldn’t be so bad after all, and I think we have raised two, pretty cool humans together. We love you to the moon and back and then some, Andy!
