New and used

The above picture is a used evap coil. The coil is filtered and needs to stay clean for the air conditioner to run properly and efficiently. This IS NOT a clean coil.
This is the new coil. This is what it should look like.
Just a recommendation, Use a GOOD filter, and replace the filter OFTEN.

We are taking 2 full days off this week. Going to a cool refreshing spring in north Central Fla. on Wednesday. Going to the NEW Seaworld water park on Thursday.
A couple of fun days in the water is just what the doctor ordered!

Remember August 1st FPL power bills going up 8%!!! YEAH!!!!
January 1st going up ANOTHER 8%!!!!! For a full 16% they were looking for.

Will this madness ever stop?

Till I get back sun burnt and sore,

Why do I cough so much?

Do I need my ducts cleaned?

No.

Why?

You need your ducts changed.


This is not a good situation.


How did it get this way?


Lack of maintenance.


Crappy return filter.


Most important undersized and improper ducting.


Know what and if your contractor knows what they are doing. Both of these pictures are from units that are less than 5 years old!



Breath safe,


Tim

Sam comes home.

Here is a picture of Sam a few weeks before he became a world traveler and went to Europe for three weeks.
He was very tired at the airport, but he did fill us with stories for 2 hours on the way home.


Being gone for three weeks something has changed about him but I just can't put a finger on it.

Oh well I'll figure it out soon enough.

I'm making Sam anything he wants for dinner tonight, and I think I'll make him a cake too.

It's great to have Sam home.

Sam update.

Sam is in Europe for 3 weeks. He took my camera so pictures will be low on my blog page.
I might as tell the world how it has been going.
Communication back and forth is sketchy at the best.
one email.
Until today, His leader called to say there has been some "monkey business" going on.
Monkey business = itching powder, excessive running, and jumping off of walls in a 1000 year old castle.
I needed to talk to him and tell him to settle down. Hard to discipline when I would have done the same in his circumstances.
So far in one week they,
Visited John F Kennedy Memorial in Runnymede.
Walked and sight see London,
Changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace,
Had a medieval lunch,
Explore the Tower of London (an old prison),
Meet the Beefeater guards,
A cruise on the Thames River,
Dinner theater watching The Lord Of The Rings,
Meet members of the Parliament,
Ride on the London Eye (worlds largest Ferris wheel @ 443 feet),
Visit Covent Garden with street performers,
Stay with a local Family for a few days to eat local food and do what the locals do,
Visit Statford-upon-Avon (home of Shakespeare),
Spend the night in a tented medieval village on the grounds of Warwick Castle, have free roam of the castle all night, Launch the worlds most powerful Catapult, AND repel off of the castle walls.

ALL THIS IN THE FIRST WEEK!

they say he has been messing around. I'd be coming out of my skin.

I'll run down week #2 latter.

Shits are in.


Sorry it has been so long for an update.
Work has been off the chain. I'm lucky if I get home before 9 or 10 at night.
Sam took off yesterday for Europe with the People to People program. He will be gone for 3 weeks. He is going to England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland. Not a bad trip for a 13 year old.
If anyone wants a shirt just call 772-283-7222.
