Since we live in Yuma full time there are adjustments that need to be made to most park models. The summer gets mighty hot and the AZ rooms are not set up for the intense heat summer can bring. And just like our last home the AZ room was not set up well for the cold nights either. Soooooo, we had to look for help in making our extra room more comfortable for us.
Tuesday we had a mini split put in the AZ room for supplemental heat and air conditioning. The men were professional and actually cleaned up their work area's. Meaning no mess left behind. I've found that is seldom the case and has been that way for quite a few years. Anyway the unit is installed. BUT, we can't use it yet. Some wiring was not up to code so they had to change some things and are waiting for 50 50 breaker for the new unit to make that and the hot water heater up to code. They also installed a more powerful bathroom exhaust fan. The one that was in here didn't exhaust it just moved the air around. So after a shower the towels were very damp and water from steam was running down the walls. Not what you want on sheet rock. The new fan works so well that there is not even steam on the mirro and you can almost feel a breeze when it is on. I'm thinking it may need to be turned down a notch. OH, it's adjustable too.
Next week we will be getting a bid for sunscreens on most of our windows. They really help stop most of the sun from heating up and entering the windows. The windows are only single pane so we may have to replace them as funds become available. Which means we need to start saving for them. A couple at a time works. I noticed last night, with the wicked cold wind, that it was cold sitting by a window. I think I need to order a quilt too. All I had are no more.
It breaks my heart to think that we just finished getting our last home the way we wanted and needed and now to start all over again. 😢
