Jam Up the Pump!

So, there's air conditioning now. With the size of the house, it was no small endeavor to replace the entire HVAC system (and no small penny, either). The crew has worked on it piecemeal but we're very nearly at the end of it. The big thing, with the heat over the weekend, is to have working air conditioning upstairs and down. The outside heat pump units are huge, as you might be able to tell from the pictures.

I'm glad I was home when those exterior units were going to be placed, because they were about to be placed very un-smartly (there's still a future blog entry coming about the HVAC saga, but I need distance before I get into all of it). For instance, they were going to put the big one out in front of the smaller one, and they were going to put that big one in front of one of the bay windows. I think with the way that area has been knocked down to grade, and the retaining wall built, the best solution was to let them nestle back into one another in that tucked-in area between the dining room bay and the new kitchen complex bay. See what you think...
