You better start behaving because now you will be the primary focus of attention until she gets a pet.

I'll be damned, I'm just sitting in the recliner and she just showed this to me!!!

Well I made a one-in-a-bajillon shot and we're expecting a boy in January!
It was a complete surprise and my wife never missed taking a birth control pill. So I absolutely beat the odds/got blessed because I figured it would've been another girl since I have two girls already.

And before anyone says my wife wanted another one, I can assure you she didn't. She bawled her eyes out for two weeks straight and we had already gotten rid of every baby item we owned. So we have to start from scratch again and time to go get snipped lol

Came home from San Francisco with the sammich maker to a hot house. The AC start/run capacitor is bad and of course I did not replace the spare the last time I used it. So tomorrow morning I will pick one up.

That sucks. I ordered two the first time mine went out which was a good thing bc my neighbor ending up needing one.

This reminds me I gave my spare to my in laws last summer. I need to order a replacement tomorrow.

I need to get a mini-split installed in my master bedroom but really want to install a unit big enough to run three handlers. In the long term I think it would be selling point of the house to have a main HVAC and then a mini-split to handle each bedroom.

That would be an expensive electric bill to have it in every bedroom+ main house unit but I like the idea of having a mini split in the master. That would be a feasible option.

Exactly what happened to us a couple weeks ago. I posted about this last month, pop the service cover and buy those cheap spares now. Contact switch and capacitors.

I like this idea for the master bedroom, especially since it's just us now, after this week.

I've been shopping around for a unit for my shop, I'm looking at the mitsubishi P series they seem to be the best quality/warranty for the price.

If you replace the capacitor, I would replace that switch too. If the 220 feeding the contact switch does not have terminals on the wire, be sure to get a contact switch with the one lug/one opening, it makes it very easy to feed the wire directly into this style.

yep mine took a dump about 2 years ago and I bought 2 condenser caps, two blower motor caps, and 2 contactors for the compressor. I replaced all of them and now have a spare for each in case one shits the bed again I won't have to wait around for a spare, they are easy enough to replace.

I'd recommend adding a hard start kit, it will prolong the life of the starting cap and also draw less current, this lowered the starting amps enough to allow my HF 9500W generator to run the A/C if ever needed.

This unit already had a run start cap installed already, I replaced all the disposables as well and have spares.

I was thinking of making an ac tool room within my shop, don't think it's cost feasible to cool the whole building with the heat we have down here.
