Need help choosing between 2 bids to install central air
Comments (10)I wanted to thank everyone for the responses. We haven't made a decision yet, partly because we found another expensive project lurking for us: The chimney sweep came and discovered our chimney lining has deteriorated, something our home inspector overlooked. The sweep showed me all the terracotta that he cleaned out of our chimney. What's more, he said there isn't room to put in a 7-inch chimney lining, which is what's code, only 6 1/2. So that would require chipping away at the chimney from the interior of the house. Or, he suggested getting an electric water heater instead, in which case he could bring me down to a 6-inch liner. That might be the least expensive, least messy option. The other idea is to possibly make the conversion from oil to gas heat and vent it outside. I prefer gas heat myself, but the new boiler we inherited with the house is only two years old. Also we have some steam radiators--I don't know how easy that would be. At any rate, it all sounds like several thousand dollars, and we have a one-year home warranty that came with the house that I really hope covers some of this. In the meantime he cleaned out the chimney for now and we have a carbon monixide detector upstairs. I'll probably put up a separate post about this issue, as soon as I stop feeling sick to my stomach! Thanks again.......See MoreHelp me choose between these 2 colors!

Comments (9)Thanks so much, Ken & Dave. I may try the hardy dogwood. I think you're smart, Ken to opt for perennials that die to the ground though I've never seen as much snow piled up here in Nova Scotia (and refuse to believe this trend will continue:) Here's a pic of the look I'm going for and the purple perennials are at the front which (where the snow would normally pile). I've been slowly integrating evergreen shrubs in all my beds so that I can enjoy my garden for much of the year and I like the idea of the red branches of the dogwood. PS I only moved to a 3-acre lakeside home 3 years ago and I dubbed this bed the 'Wasteland'...See Morejhmarie
