One More Thing

I do not have any photographic or video evidence of this, so don't ask to see it.

I was taking a break from the drywall on Friday June, 29 and I noticed the air conditioner dripping water inside the house. I found an old bucket to catch the drip and went out to check out the AC unit. The case surrounding the unit has a lip that will allow the water the exit out the back, but the lip was almost a half inch from the bottom of the pan, so the water level was high enough to start dripping out the front end.

I grabbed my handy cordless drill and drilled a small hole in the right rear of the pan. The water started to immediately drain, so I started to drill another vent hole in the left side of the pan. I was successful in drilling the second hole, and nicked the condenser coil. The unit started to hiss as the coolant was released. Talk about a depressing feeling, standing there watching your air conditioner slowly become the air conditioner that used to work. My rush to fix something ends up as an expense. I guess I should learn the lesson and take my time in similar situations.

One Big Task Complete (Well, 95% Complete) 7/1

We have finished hanging every piece of drywall that we can at this point. We will have one half sheet to install after the plumber comes (Tuesday) and hooks up the hot water heater and the shower.

I am not saying we are finished, because the walls are in various stages of progress. The back bedroom has been mudded, sanded, primed and painted. The living room has two coated of mud and will require another before it is sanded. Every wall surface has at least two coats of drywall mud.

I didn't realize how dusty it was until I looked at this picture of the front room.
