When we bought our house, we were told that the heating and cooling systems were probably the original systems and this house was built in the 1970's... That's a long time folks...30 odd years...old...
Thursday a local heating and cooling company showed up to fix that.. We now have a brand new furnace and A/C unit... He and his one worker were here almost 12 hours Thursday.. I had planned to let them get started and then take the grandkids out of the house because we were told it would be noisy in here.. That didn't happen as the one grand showed up with a low grade fever, no appetite and a junky stomach.. so we stayed home and really the noise wasn't all that bad...

| the new A/C unit |
The A/C unit used to be under the deck...that is not the ideal place for it... We had it installed on the south side of the house with new lines also.. When the heating/cooling guy came to give us the estimate we found out that all the gas lines in the basement were not gas lines...they were water lines...yes...propane was running through copper pipes used for plumbing.. Not safe...at...all...
Sorry, no photo of the old or new furnace...one was ugly and dirty and nasty...the new one is just a big metal box...lol
When we moved here the propane tank was located right next to the garage...There were many times we were afraid someone was going to back into it...
We called and made an appointment to have it moved across the driveway to a small area of land that wouldn't grow grass and was hidden behind a little row of trees..

Where do you get all your energy? Love the propane tank - orange is my fav. color. I think you have a budding model here, and she's so photogenic. And the pot of flowers in your header is gorgeous. Is it yours?
So... the propane tank is in... the new ac/heater and pretty flowers and pretty Ava... what to do.... what to do... I like that they painted the propane take again... cute! What, no big smiley face? Or maybe a pic of the staypuf marshmallow man?
Hope that they didn't cut the phone line... What ever will you do with yourselves when the outside work is done? Great job... sure will be nice when the garage has a floor too. Have fun!
For someone who says she doesn't have a green thumb, you are doing a nice job with those flowers on your blog header here! YAY for getting so much more of the work done!!!
You guys have done such a fabulous job on your new place. Whatever will you do when you are finished with everything? ;0)
Eva is adorable!
