July 3-7 has been our hardest week since the project began. Heat reaching well over 100 degrees every day, along with the overwhelming smell of the vanish on the new floors and the removal of the protective barrier between us and the construction, it feels intolerable. We went to the coast for the weekend and could hardly face the house on Monday.
When the guys came to hook up the air conditioning, we nearly cried. By the afternoon, we were cool for the first time this summer. No more afternoon trips to the movie theater to keep cool.
It is amazing how much more energy we have when the house is cool.
Late entry.....
The air conditioner only lasted 2 days. Yuck! The hook-up was done incorrectly, the pump for condensations was not plugged in. They sent out a repair person and we were back in the cool for two more hours.
Then everything came to a stop again! Luckily, we had the repair technician's personal cell phone number and called him back.
This time he found a frozen condenser and a disconnected fan system. He got it all connected "correctly", never sure what that means, but the air has been humming along for three days now.
