I have Air!!!

We got a new furnace and air conditioning unit about 2 weeks ago now and finally for the first time turned it on. I really don't know how I've lived with out for so long. If you didn't know the story the A-coil in the old furnace was installed wrong and was not draining right. Thus when we started the work on the house the furnace was on the verge of falling thru to the crawl space because the condensation had rotten out the floor. Well the A-coil got damaged upon removal and with as old as the furnace was we couldn't find a replacement so we have been with out air for awhile now.

We were going to replace the whole thing eventually but with gas prices going up now was as good a time as any - its alot smaller and more efficient so I should have a lower gas bill - and I have air now.

Its in the 80's today with really high humidity - its supposed to storm and it would really cool things off if it did but so far not a drop of water has fallen from the sky. So the air is on. I keep it set around 77 when at home and 80 when not and use the ceiling fans to make it feel cooler than that. And that is only when its going to be really humid outside. Which is why this is the first time we have had it on - its been too cool.

Normally I have a cat that is listless and lying on the floor all hot and complaining but today with the air on she has parked her butt on my lap top computer - while the lid was open - thus creating all sort of havoc that I had to shut it down. Stupid Cat.
