Beautiful, sunny, warm day in Dublin today. As you can see, my dog, Lady, is enjoying herself with the heating and air guys and the attention they are giving her. They were out doing more duct work which was the main event of the day. All the duct 'tunnels' run under the house. They did an excellent job and were here promptly and worked hard every day not to mention very professional and personable. Paul, the guy in the red shirt, I heard is a pretty good golfer. The main unit that you see in the picture is almost ready to be turned on via 'Zone' thermostat from inside the house. There are three 'zones', one for the front part of the house, downstairs, 'zone two' for the front part of the house, upstairs and 'zone three' for the back part of the house. What is cool and cost effective about this system is that we can run all the zones at once, one or two or none at all. So very soon, we will stay very warm this winter and cool in the summer. Check out how big this monster is. 
Almost looks like the type you see in an office building or something.

John and I went to go cast our vote for city councilman or woman today. We went to the local feed store so I could get my very own personal pecan cracker. As you can see from the pictures, it is a tedious process I would not want to do on a large scale. The commerical pecan growers use a weird looking 'tree shaker' for their groves of pecan trees. The final result after the nut is cracked open is the familar pecan 'meat' inside. This one came off one of the Hardy Smith trees and mighty good tastin' too :)
No additional work on the bathroom today. The tile is not in yet. The rest of the work cannot be completed until the tile is installed. Once that is done, the shower, hot water heater, the washer/dryer, sink and new toilet will be put in. Once the shower is in, the claw bath tub will be pulled out of the bathroom, sandblasted, repainted white and the claw feet painted gold. The painting in the bathroom can begin at any time at this point. We are waiting for an estimate on a wall shelving unit for storage of linens and towels. This house is starved for closet space. Back in the days of Hardy Smith, they did not have too many clothes like us modern folk do. I miss my walk in closets! I am trying to talk John into finding ways to create more closet space because most of all my clothes and possessions are in are boxes.
Not much else to report. Keep checking my blog daily for updates.
