Brief Hiatus · 5:26pm Apr 5th, 2021
Now, before you all collectively panic on me, this is just going to be a two week hiatus, at worst.
But to get down to the dirty details of it, the central air conditioning in my house died early last summer, and Irrespective is not going through another summer with no cold air. So, it's time to do some spring cleaning so a new a/c can be installed next week, and there's a lot of spring cleaning to be done.
So I'll still be lurking around here and the discord server, but the typing of ponywords, Bean or otherwise, will be severely curtailed for the next couple of weeks.
P.S.
If you happen to have an extra $13k laying around and you want to donate it to a worthy cause, my home improvement loan and I wouldn't say no to a donation. But if you don't, I'll also gladly take any upthumbs and comments you'd care to leave on my stories as an equal payment. :)
I call Not It! (besides, I'm a couple of states away, and my own basement is a disaster. Put in a suspended ceiling if you have to rip out too much sheet rock. It's a lot easier to get around.)
Your home come first
I suffer a lot in hot weather, so I understand.

Okay. I'll let you off the hook this time, but only 'cause you were the first to say Not It.
Good luck!!!
That's why I move every summer down into the basement.

See, y'all shoulda just moved to Arizona. No Basements to worry about and the heat is mostly dry.

Yeah, until it gets up to 120 in the shade in the middle of July. No thank you. :)
Have you checked with multiple parties to see if your system can be repaired/broken bits reconditioned rather than replaced?

Yup, and the old one was so dead, it was almost a literal zombie. I've had no less than five different a/c companies look at it, and each one of them gasped in horror when they saw the thing.
They were scared of it just on sight.
Several said they had no idea how the sucker was even still working, since the unit was a model from 1984, and that was before it died last summer. There is no pulling a Lazarus with this one, but in the end, I say good riddance. It was too small to keep my house cooled off, and being so old, the thing spiked my power bill every summer. The new unit will be the right size for my house and use far less electricity.

Pff, last time it hit 120 here was.... Way back in like... Damn I think 2017? Maybe?

had to convert that. 49*C, impressive: that's a summer in Darwin or Broome.
