Grass Green Fleece Hug Me Slugs, original art toys by Elizabeth RuffingToday was the first day of our getting our heating system replaced too.

Putting in a new heating and air conditioning systemWhen the crew pulled out the old duct work and various elements, I was amazed how huge the pile was. This is only part of it.

Putting in a new heating and air conditioning systemI’m so glad we didn’t wait for anything to break down. That rusted box above doesn’t look like it would have lasted much longer.

Putting in a new heating and air conditioning system, workman bootiesThe guys worked so quietly all day, hardly talking at all. Then they picked up, and went home, again quietly, leaving a pair of booties behind. They should be back tomorrow to hook up the new heat pump.
