@scottalanmiller Back in the states for a while?
Yup, at least a year, we think.
I thought the longest you could stay was a couple of months?
That was the plan but with the SAM-SD stuff, we need to be here for a while. There is just so much to do.
Oh I thought it had to do with passport stuff.
-
DBAN'ing a laptop and installing Kubuntu to a laptop that we're going to donate.
-
Kubuntu is surprisingly fast even from USB while installing.

Not in the US, we are allowed to stay here indefinitely.

Power was out all morning. Just came one. Roommate had neglected to pay the power bills while we were gone. Argh.

Not cool. I'm sure it's getting pretty warm there like it is here, need power for A/C.

Lucky so and so. I have a split level house with an AC unit that was never actually big enough to cool the house. So I have portables.

Did someone from up north build that house? It's Atlanta for crying out loud, you need big AC units and little heaters, not the big heaters and little AC we have up here.

That's a good theory. The unit is big enough for the square footage, but only if it were a single level. Cheap bastards.

Mine is great, when it has power

Quick plug. Check out energy ogre. If you're in a free market system, then they will see what is best for you based on previous usage and assign you to the best contract for you. I've been using it since September and they've been on top of it all.

Designing cooling to work correctly is definitely an art form. My current office building is horrible. It's just bad.
My house is a two story house, and it's better than my office, but really should be a two system house, one for the second story, and one for the main/basement area. Sadly, this home builder didn't offer that expensive option in any of their homes.

I really hope I can put in a bigger unit outside without having to do a bunch of modification inside. I think the blower will handle the next size up though.

Hearing from AC pros - you can't just put a bigger compressor, etc into a system. If the vent sizes aren't right, you just end up freezing your A-frame and then the whole thing is worthless.
-
I recall someone mentioning about individual ACs per room in the past. I wonder if that has any real value? Especially if they can share a single compression coil, but that might not be worthwhile because of distances.

Our drummer does commercial HVAC, he was the one who told me I could probably upsize. I think what I have is small for the blower/vent setup. But I'll still consult a pro before replacing anything.

I have a lot of friends that do a lot of stuff like this. When I'm a home owner I imagine I'll be trading services with them a lot
