I'm useless when it comes to taking selfies.
Perhaps having my phone in a leather case makes it more difficult.
But I love my case, especially when I drop my phone!
Anyway, I really dislike photos of myself at this age so don't take many,
plus I usually dodge other people coming at me with a camera.
These I took on Monday killing time whilst waiting for a salesman to arrive
to talk about replacing our HVAC system. Our house, built in 1985, is aging
too and things need to be updated. One comes to a point where a quick fix
is no longer going to work. Heat breaking down on a freezing winter
day + air conditioning dying during a heatwave = stress and discomfort.
Like most people in this modern age, we've been spoiled. Technology
has, with all its faults, at least made daily living in whatever climate
ones inhabits, much more comfortable when regulation of the temperature
is possible.
So three salesman have come this week, all very nice and very different.
Several estimates for this big, costly job are needed, mostly just out of curiosity
as to the differences in cost for the same job and equipment, and of course
the guaranteed work of the company and its installers. We've heard horror
stories from people being ripped off in many ways with pricing and poor
workmanship when it comes to these types of home improvements.
We did our homework ahead of time.
Hopefully we'll find the best company with a fair price and can get moving
with the work whilst the weather, and the attic, stay cool.
A mess ahead? Of course! Spring cleaning may be put on hold!
