Air Condioning Started

The first stage of the siding is done - they will need to come back to do the underside of the porches after the insulation is in. Everyone agrees that the porch columns would have looked nicer white. I chose the dark green because of how the center post is off-center. I was thinking that with the white column, the off-center column would be the first thing you would notice. I'm hoping that the dark green shutters and stair risers, and dark railings will tie it all together.

We picked the air conditioner installer who bought our house on Hwy 49. We are getting two 2-stage compressors with variable speed fans manufactured by Maytag. Well, branded by Maytag, made by Nordyne. They come with a really good Maytag warranty - ten years parts and labor, full replacement if the compressor fails. We are getting a 3 ton for downstairs and a 2 ton upstairs - more than the 3.5 tons that was calculated, but the 2 stage runs at 2/3 capacity 18.5 seers or full capacity 16 seers. So the majority of time they will run at 3.33 tons.

We are not going to make David's 4th of July goal for the rough-in inspection. The inspector wants the upstairs electrical done before they issue a certificate of occupancy, so David has spent the last couple of weeks finishing the framing upstairs and running electrical. The new goal is July 22.
