| I am curious what every-one else is planning to put in for a/c. Also, for those that have already installed and been down there, what did you install and are you happly with your choice? To me I am sure that the 18000 single unit is enough, but wonder if it will make the temp to cool in the living/dining room vs the bedrooms. I think 120000 in each room is almost overkill. What are all of my 'peeps' in the neighborhood thinking?

| Hey guys,
I was just wondering if other people in the community had considered not installing A/C at all and just making some modifications to the thermal properties (insulation and ventilation etc) of their houses instead?
We are going to renovate our place with that approach with the view that it is not only better for the environment but also helps the old hip pocket out quite a bit over time.
Just thought it worth running up the flagpole to see who salutes..  |

| If you could share any info on your reno ideas it would be greatly appreciated. We plan on living there full time and are looking for an alternative to A/C too. I will be researching the idea of easy recycling and if I can come up with any solid suggestions I will post them. You have been SALUTED ! |
