Thanks, sj! I hope central air works out for you. In NC I couldn't live without it.
Looks like civilization finally caught up with us.

I grew up with it, so I was spoiled. I haven't had it since living in MA. I don't regulate my body temperature well because of the SB, I have asthma and allergies so I don't do well with the windows open, and I'm going to be 9 months pregnant in August. These are all good reasons imho, but I have to convince TCG we can afford it.

Our wings are not tired.
I didn't have A/C in my old Florida house until I was pregnant. Really I wasn't home much during the day until then. But that made me get a huge window unit put in since the house was too old to add central.
I hope the quote comes in with a nice affordable total.

The duct work in our house was done badly and is too small to deal with a proper central air conditioner. So we have two options that are both probably pricier than we would like, but the less pricey option would also help with the fact that the bedrooms are colder than the living room at night by creating a second heating zone as well. We're probably going to just end up replacing the wall unit in the living room.

I was an August 23rd baby, 1/2 a mile from the MO river and while we're not QUITE as humid as FL, my mom was cussing and spitting in the heat of '72, with no AC, and the cicadas of dooooooommm.
Congrats, Calli!!!

I'm not in the south, but baby is due in August. We might end up going with the cheaper of the two AC options with a home improvement loan that would also cover putting in some more insulation which the home inspector suggested we do when we bought the house.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I've got one more job interview scheduled. Also made an appointment with my doctor for tomorrow, because I'm still coughing. The coughing is getting somewhat better, but it's still pretty bad.

Jeez, Hil. That's just miserable.
Hi Shir!
That's all I got.
