The mosquitoes greeted our arrival - well it was more like they were having a picnic and we showed up on the menu!
The porch was finished when we got in. The lighting was on and it looked amazing. We have a little touch up to do and hopefully that will be tomorrow.
We decided to bring the A/C unit from home for several reasons...it wasn't being used; it's newer; it looks better; it's quieter and it's more energy efficient. I had measured both the old and the new units and came up with the same measurements every time. Unfortunately, once the old unit came out of the wall, the new one did not fit. Someone measured wrong! So with some circular saw action, a little chiseling, a lot of sweat and lots of muscle, Carlo got the case installed - slid the unit in and turned it on...Viola! Instant cooling gratification! So the challenges of the day were:
a. struggled with the A/C
b. struggled with the A/C and
c. struggled with the A/C
Out with the old and in with the new!!!
I was reminded of all the heavy lifting I assisted with while I reminded the real heavy lifter of all his cranium contributions! (sarcastic!)
We skipped dinner except for several attempts that involved empty jars and stale crackers. We were happy to hit the hay by 9:00 pm...and we were cool!!!
