When I first moved to Tuscaloosa, AL, I was unprepared for the extreme heat plus humidity, i bought a fixer-upper condo that was in need of some major replaces.
The roof was in bad shape, which had caused extensive water damage to the walls plus ceilings; Many of the windows were broken, the doors didn’t shut slim plus there was no insulation.
The electrical system failed to meet code plus the plumbing pipes were corroded. I needed to replace the water heater, refrigerator, stove, washing device plus dryer. I decided to take the apartment down to the bare studs plus start fresh. I discovered that the air duct was a mess! Not only was the system poorly designed, but there were gaps at the seams plus big holes! While I can manage a lot of condo improvements on my home, I can’t fabricate plus install air duct. I researched, asked around plus found a local Heating plus Air Conditioning business that specializes in sheet metal fabrication. I was particularly impressed with their work; Although the air duct plus the new cooling system were installed early in the process, I didn’t dare run the cooling system. The rest of the construction was generating a fantastic deal of dust. I didn’t want the debris to get sucked into the cooling unit plus air duct… Going separate from central a/c while installing plumbing pipes, electrical lines, drywall, light fixtures plus cupboards was excruciating. The temperature in Tuscaloosa regularly soared into the nineties. Although I ran multiple box fans, I was boiling, sweaty plus agitated. It was a big relief when construction was completed plus the apartment cleaned up. I was particularly excited to finally lower the temperature control setting, start up the cooling system plus enjoy cool comfort.
