Home Improvement Today?

What's up with the shack next too you? for sale?

 

Not for sale. The owner is dead or in an old age home, possibly the daughter "takes care of it". No one has lived there since my house build started, so 1.5 years its been empty. They have someone mow the lawn and clean the pool now and then. Its overgrown, shed is completly full, old lawn mower is sitting out front. I have complained but to raccoons living in the shed. lol The town is involved and already sent the code enforcement out to inspect the property. They put a letter on their door. If they dont answer them by a certain time they town will come in and clean it all up and charge the homeowner. So well see

 

Threw in this big ass window! The front is starting to come together now. The dogs express their enthusiasm by barking at everything they see through it.

 

hahaha once we moved into a single floor house our dog has barked more than he has ever did when seeing the neighbors outside lol we love him barking just good its only sometimes

 

We live on the shore road that rings a small lake - everyone that lives in the neighborhood walks the road with their dogs so it's just going all the time now haha

 

Old pile o shit heat pump out!

 

Im getting an hvac upgrade tmrw, heat pump and air exchanger.

What are you replacing with?

 

Lennox system going in as I type. I'll get some pics when done.

 

Lennox equipment is at least 3 months out in my area. One contractor wouldn't even give me a bid. We went with mitsubishi/trane as it was all we could get our hands on. Although, for the system were putting in, spec showed better efficiency numbers. Time will tell

 

I've got a Lennox equipment. Very happy with it, great products.

 

Have you looked at the Museum of Modern Art (https://store.moma.org/)? I'm not sure if they sell canvas, but I know they sell prints. If you're open to something other than canvas, you could look at Displate (https://displate.com/). They sell metal 'posters'/prints.

New system in. Haven't had ac all summer, wife was ready to snap but she's been pretty good about it. Fortunately it was only a 6 week wait for equipment.


They're comming back with a door.



Shits gotten expensive. 10k all in. My brother got his installed 4 years ago, only $6,800. Is what it is....

 

I may trim that out, pretty it up. No one's gonna see it once the doors up but it may aggravate my ocd, we'll see.....

 

Yep, that's about what mine cost. Not sure which healthy climate filter you got, but I put one of those in last summer. Best thing I ever did for my allergies. Merv 16 rating/ carbon filter with uv light combo. My allergies are completely gone. Except for when I step outside or leave the house.

 

We're building a new house and we made some changes to our AC System (zoned the system added remote temp sensors in bedrooms UV light, Humidity control) being installed by the AC contractor. He told us that later this yr and next yr is going to be a shit show with AC equipment and will most likely be $4-$6K more than current prices.

 

Seems like a good deal. How many tons?

Ours was 20K, but that includes the heat pump, variable furnace (propane), new ducting, etc. Installed the week before the 110°F days. God was watching.........no such systems to be found around here currently.

Even idling the thing blows cold. The suck part is, it uses so little electricity we are completely spoiled. 85°F feels real HOT now. OOPS.

 

No uv, but living in the 2nd worst place on the planet for allergies, and having pets, upgrading the filtration was a no brainer.

 

3 ton. We were not so lucky. Had a couple 113 (set records) days.

 

I believe it. Took almost a month just to get all the bids in. Called four places. One never returned my call, another wasn't accepting new customers but I could get on their waiting list, 3rd outfit I suspect really didn't want the job, they over bid the shit out of it, guys I ended up going with gave me the same thing for 5k less.
