AC

We are getting central AC installed on our second floor. (Doing both floors would have required two compressors, which made the cost prohibitive, but between cold air sinking, the big window unit in the living room, and the computers being on the second floor, that should be fine.) Biggest irony so far: when the salesman, and later he and the foreman, came to the house to answer questions, they made a point of putting on these little booties at the door because not dirtying up our house is important to them. I've seen the guys who are actually doing the work; I have yet to see a bootie. :-) Mind, I'm not particularly worried about it; the botties struck me as a little silly. But if they're going to try that gimmick, they should be more careful.

I thought the salesman and foreman said the job would take one week, but the workers said two. Whee. I wish they'd have given higher priority to the dehumidifier they're also installing in the basement. Oh well.

The workers are not being nearly as good about cleaning up after themselves as they should be. It's ok to save all the cleaning for the end when no one is living in the space, but that's not the situation here. The workers seem friendly, but I worry that they may be cutting other corners too.
