Shiny.

Night all.

Well thank you birthday boy!

I think that title just gave us permission to whine.

oooo We're doomed!! It's all clean and stuff.

How hard would a phone call have been???

Guy finally showed, guess what?
That's right it's the compressor.
They should have one come in soon, so only a few more sweltering nights. Maybe it'll rain tonight and cool things down....

That sucks. Didn't you say earlier that you had portable units?

Yes I have 2, one is in the master b/r and the larger one is in the living rm/tv rm/dining rm/kitchen area. They help but they aren't central air. It's down to about 77 in here now.
Storms are expected so that'll help with the temp, but the humidity will be a bear.

Makes ya miss living up North doesn't it?

Seriously though, my sympathies. Nothing worse than crappy sleep from it being too hot. We always have a few nights like that before it settles into being hot for the summer and we get the AC in. We've already had two nights like that, then it got cold again.

Beckett's mom is just a few years older than me.

Not having seen the episode - was when she died, or would be now?

Yeah I didn't have a/c in Canada with the exception of the last 4 years I lived there, not even in my car.

Doesn't look like we'll be getting rain tonight, maybe tomorrow.It all went south and east.

And a few years younger than me.

Lots of suspending beliefs tonight.

dontwantaname wrote:LOL, so everywhere you need to go has ac, except the bathroom!

Spoiled!

well, to tell the truth we did have the ac on until the room cooled down last night. It was way colder out than inside the house.

Hasn't been so much the heat here as it's been the dew point. Too sticky.

Woe is me. Have to get up at 6:00 tomorrow morning in order to get to grandparents day for #2 grandson. I foresee a midmorning nap.

Night all. Tomorrow.

Good morning all.

Morning all.

I am hoping to avoid turning on the ac until June.

Mornin', folks.

Morning. Ugh.

RIP, Maurice Sendak. Have a good trip to where the wild things live, and ROAR with them all night.

Good morning everybody!

Sad times.

So much for being productive this morning. At least I can work tonight if I don't get another migraine. Something has been triggering them in the evenings and I haven't found it yet.

One problem with the old units was the pan would fill with water and smell.
No smell with these. No water in the pan.

1) Your units are oversized for the heat load. They don't run long enough to take out the humidity, leaving your house cold and clammy (no comments on the occupants)
2) The pan needs to drain to the outside. You probably had the drain line full of gookus, leading to backup.


ETA: I just passed on a house purchase because the AC units were 22 years old and I don't have $20k to replace them.

crap, must have hit "reply" instead of "edit".

Yeah, we have a window unit that's bigger than the room, but it's also the only AC in the place. Luckily humidity isn't as much of an issue here.

We really need to replace the windows in the living room (now that we fixed the walls and painted, uggh. But windows are expensive and don't add to the home value so we've been avoiding it. //sigh
