…home\/house stuff… not exactly 1 step forward 2 back… but along that line…<\/p>\n

Air conditioner – WOW, in terms of comfort level – not so wow in terms of aesthetics but since I don’t “entertain” and this time of year don’t use the “living room” much – comfort level outweighs aesthetics… The A\/C – sometime in May, I received a flyer form Costco and one of the items was an Air Conditioner – couldn’t order until 7\/14…so I went to CO, came back and 14th approaching plus it was HOT so ordered the A\/C on the 14th early in the day.\u00a0 On the 15th when I went to the same A\/C to get a link to send to a friend who asked – not available.\u00a0 Anyway, it arrived several days ago, was a simple install and I am enjoying the cool!\u00a0 It keeps the entire house at 72 (today was 94 at hottest) – not the most attractive thing but comfort level is improved – better temp, better air circulation and faster cool down for sleeping – we are happy!<\/p>\n

\u00a0It’s on wheels so easy to move to another location in the morning (east side of house in the a.m. – right photo… west side in the p.m.-left photo)<\/p>\n

For the step forward the subject is window treatments…I have no need of window coverings for privacy since I have no neighbors that I can see.\u00a0 BUT, there is the sun issue – not in Winter, but with the Summer sun angle and\u00a0my wish to keep the house cool and sun damage (fading of surfaces) to a minimum… when I left for CO, I “hung” sheets and fleece blankies – I thought I would live with that until Fall, but aside from getting a bit old, there was a sale on the flat Roman shades that I wanted, hence – new window “treatments”… and away with the sheets and blankies!<\/p>\n

Most of my favorite tools were out for exercise:<\/p>\n

You can see 2 levels and some measuring stuff in the photo above – truth is that I mostly “eyeball” locations – considering that there is very little in “this old house” that is square, level or standard – eyeballing does just as well or better than precise measuring.<\/p>\n

The results:<\/p>\n
