The final act . . .

The weather worked with our air conditioning installers, yesterday. It didn't get up to 100 degrees which was great for them as they were doing most of thier work in the attic crawl space. They were quite productive and got more done than originally anticipated. If all goes well, today, our air conditioning/heating unit will be in place by two this afternoon and the workmen will be off on another job.

Amazing how these worker have the system down to a fine art. When they left, there wasn't a bit of mess. They set up the vent screens in each room and have them ready to put into place today. The major components of the system are installed and they just have duct work to complete. All the bits and pieces were hauled up to the attic before they left.

Meanwhile, my husband has discovered a computer site from our electric company where you can follow your power usage from minute to minute. We are hoping to discover where we are using the most enegery and if there is a way we can cut back on it.

And, the evening weather report told us we had picked the best time for making this improvement in our house . . . the temperatures are soaring into the 100's - plus for the next seven days. One of the air conditioning workers joked that they come in, install the units, get the customers homes cooled down, and then they leave before they can enjoy it and go on to their next, hot, sweaty job.

Our dog spent the day in the garage with all the company and treats she could ask for except all she wanted was a taste of these strange people in her house.
