We Got AC!

Now the House of SoulSlam is about 117 years old. It's an old house. Nice house, but every project is a major project. The bedrooms upstairs have plaster walls. We've done over the bathrooms (2.5), the kitchen, added a deck, hardwood floors, new basement (thanks random hurricane), etc. The one thing we never had was central AC.

So every year I would put 5 or so window units in various rooms. One is about 12,000 BTU and H-E-A-V-Y. It would usually be a half day project to get them in, shore them up so they were level and stable, and get them going. And I would never put them in in April or early May, it would typically just be 88 degrees one day so here we go.

Anyway, it was pretty hot. We didn't have units for the some of the upstairs bedrooms or main bath, so that would be sweltering in the North J summer. Rough livin".

We had looked at central AC many years ago, but remember, the house is 117 years old. So there is no ductwork. So that was gonna be a challenge. A big one. So this year we decided to check it again. And the AC guy and our regular contractor came up with a plan. A semi-expensive plan, but the house would be 1) cool and 2) increase in overall value. So we went with it. Nice.
