Assuming you did finally install it who did you use to do it and what was the actual cost? And was it very satisfactory during this oven heat Florida is currently experiencing.

Actually, we have not installed one yet. After we bought the house, we realized that there was so much wrong with it, that we decided to do a complete remodel. We had to get a new roof put on pronto because we could not get insurance and that was our main concern. Kitchen appliances have been backordered and will not be delivered until the end of the month. Kitchen cabinets will be black with a white quartz countertop and gold handles. New flooring is down and two bathrooms have been finished, beautifully.

We had one estimate from Costco and the GC is supposed to be giving us a quote as well. It has become a surprise what will be done every day.
I have to say that my son is really enjoying the process. He is still taking cold showers as we are waiting for the water heater, which will have to be installed outside.

Thanks for the update. Luckily he enjoys cool water, lol.

Glad to hear progress is being made with all the remodeling going on!

I’ll start you off with a good laugh on this Saturday morning.
My son‘s mini split is finally installed and working! It just showed up out of the blue on Tuesday. I don’t know how much the installation is, but the cost of the mini split itself was $1500. When I asked my son if it was working well, he told me some silliness about turning it on and turning it off. So I told him you can’t do that, it’s just like your regular AC and it should be going all the time. He said I can’t run it all the time, because it is too cold. I told him you know there’s a thermostat on it!
