Thanks for your comments...and now to answer some questions. Ellie, yes that is Niobe clematis with Graham Thomas rose. I love the deep, saturated purple of it with the yellow. Mantis, the gold/yellow rose in photo #13 is 'Caramella'. Other roses: Photo #5/cream-colored rose is 'Rokoko'. Photo #8 coral-pink rose is 'Lafter'. Purple rosebush in photo # 11 is 'Charles de Mills' the old gallica rose. Photo #12 (pale pink) is 'Mayor of Casterbridge'. Next-to-last photo of pale cream rose is 'Windermere'. Thanks so much for all your comments everyone! Celeste

wyarbrough where do you want me to start? 1.you can not achieve the performance/eff capability of the XR15 AC condenser without a furnace that has VS blower like the XV95. 2.you have been quoted a 5 ton AC condenser. Therefore you need a furnace that has a 5 ton rated blower. The model you were quoted does not. On the XR95, you would need the following mdl TUH1D100A9601A that has the five ton rated blower. 3.The XV95 is a nicer furnace. two stg output with VS blower. 4.on stats, the XR95 would require a 1 heat/1 cool stat capability. If you stepped up to the two stg VS XV95, you would require a stat like Trane's 803 or identical HW equivalent that has two stg capability. 5.I would recommend a good 4-5" pleated filter media cabinet like Trane's Perfect Fit or Honeywell 200. That's pure unadulterated nonsense about the airflow issue. 6.what coil is dealer proposing? ask dealer to provide an AHRI number for system he quoted. IMO

I can see me now Bean. I have to have help to get up in a chair and the smoke alarm near the kitchen is in a stairwell. However I'm tall so might not need a chair. LOL I know what you mean by overly-sensitive...found that out when the dough ran over the side of a pan of summer fruit torte and caught on fire. I kid you not, it was in flames, and I could only laugh as I tried to put it out. jude

Two things........... First, are you sure you called the correct phone number? The reason I say this is that I recently had a similar experience with talking to someone young who seemed to be stiffling laughter and there were giggles in the background........... I had called the local hospital and they gave me the phone number to Emergency Poison Control - an 800 number. I called it. I was pouring out my story and not getting much of a response or advice on what to do. I finished the whole story and asked "WHAT SHOULD I DOOOOO?!?!?!?" and got a burst of laughter. And then an "I dunno". More laughter. Then I was informed that I had called a fishing lodge in Canada. I asked why she kept me on the phone for ten minutes telling my story and she said "It was funny!" I did not mis-dial. The hospital gave me the wrong number. They admitted it when I called them back enraged. They called the number and verified that it really was a number to a fishing lodge but that "It was the only number they had on file." I called out local newspapers to tell them how the biggest hospital in the area gives out an incorrect emergency phone number. Anyway, you may have gotten an incorrect number and the person(s) on the other end were playing you. A lot of times obtaining a phone number off of an internet site is not fruitful because they often do not update their sites. Second, to (try) to answer your other question..........I've had the same thing happen with my system and they always tell me to shut off the box and everything an then turn it all back on again. It always works. They say the box needs to reset itself once in a while. Maybe try shutting down and starting up again. I've actually "fixed" my computer this way too.
