The ac unit is mostly done.
Mindy, her husband Chris, and her son Jeff, were here all day long fixing the ac unit.
Chris removed the old unit and holding stuff, then cut all new wood, installed that, and then put in the new ac unit.
The old hole in the wall was far too big for the ac, so all the wood was used to make it fit, to hold it in place better with no gaps.
He used some of that expanding caulk to help keep it all insulated and stuff, and then next weekend, he's going to come over and repair the drywall where the ac unit is.
It has to be taken out, it's rotted from all the times the ac leaked water and it ran down the walls.
I paid for all the supplies and he's doing the installation.
My landlord will let me take the work off the rent, it totally saves him from having to do it, he'll be happy that it got done.
Mark helped out too, he knocked down a ton of hornets nests and also helped put the ac unit in while Chris was outside pulling it through to sit the way it's supposed to.
Sebastian couldn't help much with that, he's allergic to hornet's stings, and Mark did get stung 3 times, so yeah, it's a good thing Sebastian didn't try to help.
But he did go to the store and get some stuff we needed.
It's going to take a few hours for the house to cool down, there was no ac on all day and a huge gaping hole in the wall all day long so it will probably get cool in here by midnight. LOL
I'm so tired now so it's also a good thing my sis had something come up for tonight, I am in no mood to have more to do tonight.
She's going to come tomorrow and help me with my hair, maybe do some lunch or dinner depending on what time she comes over.
I have a couple of movies that I can watch tonight from the lazy comfort of my couch.
I have Street Kings and Pathology, it's a reason to be lazy and not do anymore than I already have today.
Oh yeah, Chris also hooked up the HDTV antenna for me.
It's pulling a few channels, but my local ones still are not coming in like they should.
I'm hopeful that come February when the switch gets made, that all of those stations come in like they should.
Ok, off to find something to eat and watch a movie.
Later days.

I didn't do much except for running errands and be a lump on your couch LOL. When it comes to handyman duty.. I steer clear of Chris and let him be the man! Chris did say that he will try and get the antenna hooked up on the outside of the house for you... if we didn't have to take Jeff to work an hour early he probably could've have taken care of that today. Sometimes you just don't know how long things are going to take until you start it. Chris did get a kick out of the boys acting like combat soldiers going into war with the hornets! I think next time I will bring a video camera to capture the insanity!
My camera takes video, we can do it that way...LOL
I didn't do much either, but I'm so tired all of the time now, that even doing a little bit of anything like showing Chris how all the electronics are set up, made me just plain exhausted.
It's no biggie on the antenna, we can figure it out eventually. :)
