When I first moved to Tuscaloosa, Alabama, I was unprepared for the harsh heat as well as humidity.
I bought a fixer-upper condo that was in need of some major updates… The roof was in poor shape, which had caused extensive water detriment to the walls as well as ceilings.
Many of the windows were broken, the doors didn’t shut tight as well as there was no insulation. The electrical system failed to meet code as well as the plumbing pipes were corroded. I needed to update the water heater, refrigerator, stove, washing component as well as dryer. I decided to take the condo down to the bare studs as well as start fresh. I discovered that the HVAC duct was a mess, but not only was the system poorly designed, but there were gaps at the seams as well as big holes, while I can manage a lot of condo improvements on my home, I can’t fabricate as well as install HVAC duct. I researched, asked around as well as found a local HVAC contractor that specializes in sheet metal fabrication. I was particularly impressed with their work… Although the HVAC duct as well as the modern a/c 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 as well as HVAC duct… Going separate from central a/c duringstalling plumbing pipes, electrical lines, drywall, light fixtures as well as cupboards was excruciating. The temperature in Tuscaloosa respectfully soared into the nineties. Although I ran many box fans, I was warm, sweaty as well as miserable. It was a sizable relief when construction was completed as well as the condo cleaned up. I was particularly gleeful to finally lower the thermostat setting, start up the a/c as well as cherish cool comfort.
