Sunday afternoon I noticed it being a little warm in the house when I stepped in from outside. Checked the thermostat and it's reading 79 degrees. Went and checked the outside heat pump unit. The valve just outside the unit had a nice layer of ice on it. UH-OH!!!!!! :0 :0 :0

Called the folks that maintain the unit for me, they came out, checked it and gave me the bad news. The condenser is shot. :(

With the age of the heat pump system (11 years, of course out of warranty!) I figured it was time to replace the entire system. Spent Monday getting estimates, ending up with the folks that maintained the old system. Earliest they can install the new system is this Friday.

So I spent last night moving all the coolers and humidors downstairs for the duration to keep them cool. It's amazing how heavy 150 quart coolers filled with cigars are! And it also reminded me I've got way too many cigars! ;)

As of now the downstairs is reading 64 degrees. It's supposed to be in the low to mid 80's for the rest of the week. So I'm keeping a close eye on the temp and have cold packs ready to stick in the coolers if it gets too warm. Come on Friday!

I believe you have my addy. :0 :p :sign:































Sorry Shadow, I just couldn't resist the opening. :p
 
Shadow:

I am truly hurt that you did not ask ME to help you out. ??? After all, we live in the same town. Maybe I am being overly sensitive, but I think the clear implication here is that you do not trust me. :( Wise man. LOL! :D

See you at the shop,

Bacchus :)

PS Why don't you bring some of those over-heated and over-humidified cigars with you? :p
 
I have someone heading that way now. When the Hertz van pulls up, just show him where the coolers are and he'll take care of the rest!

Did I mention the van is humidified at 70/70? :D
 
Bad enough I have to monitor my cigars, now I have to watch for poachers. Well my motto in this situation is:
































"All poachers will be shot!!!!!! ;) :D
 
Hmmm, what was wrong with the condenser, were the freon tubes plugged up? Or were the fins plugged with dirt? I would have thought a good flushing or cleaning of the condenser would have done the trick.

I've been having a problem with my central air unit, the evaporator freezes up. A friend of mine thinks it needs a charge but the system is only four or five years old.

Well, good luck with the HVAC contractor ;) and be sure to keep a shotgun handy to discourage looters :p
 
The condenser has a leak in it so the entire unit is shot.
 
You need a sign like the one I saw on a fencepost at a rural farmhouse in Indiana.

"Trespassers shot on sight, Survivors prosecuted!" :sign:

The one I like was a photo from Florida the other day showing a homeowner sitting in a chair with a rifle or shotgun with the words, "Looters will be killed" spraypainted on plywood behind him.
 
BTW just did a temp check, basement 72 degrees, coolers and humidors 69 degrees.

Come on Friday!
 
Shadow:

Mooching is not my intent. I am thinking more along the lines of Grand Larceny! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! :D
 
The crisis is over. HVAC folks rolled in at 0830 this morning and started working. By 1230 the new heat pump was in and running!

Just finished putting all humidors, coolidors, etc. back in their usual locations. All's well! :D :D :D :D :D



All moochers may now stand down! ;)
 
Damn, and I took today off from work just to make the trip. :p
