Another milestone reached!. The A/C install has been completed. It took 2 full days to complete the task. Late Tuesday saw the inaugural run of the unit before the guys knocked off for the day. Even without the ductwork installed, it cooled the temps down quite well. On Wednesday the wall boxes and ducts were installed. Unfortunately, there was a design plan casualty in the process.
To free up two full closets, my plan was to place both the AC and the water heater up on the new systems deck with the water heater being behind the AC to the left of the fireplace, however, as the supply side ductwork started to go in, it became apparent that there would not be any room on that side so I decided it could go on the other side. No biggie, same amount of room, only on the right side.
Well, that plan went down in cold air as they started framing in the return filter box and duct. It took up the remaining useable space on the right side of the fireplace not leaving sufficient room for the WH on that side either. Reluctantly I had to make the decision to pull it off the deck entirely and relocate it back into one of the two closets I had hoped to reclaim.
