Reason #1 Why I'm Glad We're Leaving This House
This crap can end any time now. 109° with a heat index of 115° is just unacceptable, and of course, it was this evening that our state-of-the-art geothermal AC decided to stop blowing air. Oh, there was cool air, but I had to stick my fingers inside the vent to actually feel it. Now that the temp is down to a "cool" 90°, it's working again. Someone tell me again what an expensive 2-zone, 7-day, 4-period energy-monster is good for if it doesn't put out air on the hottest days and heat on the coldest. Besides, I did the math the other day and I figured out that, added together, I spend about 30 minutes a day readjusting the thermonstat. That's about 182 hours a year! The little 1-zone, no frills AC in the cottage works better and seems much more efficient. Here's our forecast:

Damn! That's hot!
ReplyDeleteThat's Africa hot.
ReplyDeleteTarzan couldn't take that kind of heat.
(many thanks to Neil Simon for those lines)
LOL Earl!
ReplyDeleteYeah, this heat is definitely sucking the life out of us here. We (Heather, Beau and myself) moved all the furniture aout of the spare bedroom (now Heathers room) painted, hung new window treatments and moved bedding back in. It looks gorgeous, but we were all sweating like Rosie O'Donnel at an all you can eat buffet.
Ville! LMAO!!!
ReplyDeletemmmm, cold snap!
ReplyDeleteMy wife and I decided that last Saturday would be a good time to go to a water park, and we were right, although we did spend most of Sunday recuperating!
Just reading about it is making me sweat!
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile, here in Michigan, Tuesday night, it's going down to 47 degrees! That's weird, even by Michigan standards. However, I'm not complaining!
