What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Wow, that is ridiculous that you have to do that. Sounds like you’re dealing with the Hatfields and McCoys. I can definitely feel your frustration when reading this, sorry Mike.
Im like 🤏 close to just telling them im out. I'll make sure i can leave my property, but besides that, leave me be. Its like dealing with children

Take a picture of the sticker where the model and serial number are and maybe I can tell you how many tons it is?
Thanks Luis. I'm just wondering if I can power it with my generator. I was told a long time ago no. But if I shut everything off in the house accept that? My other hogs are the 4200 watt sewage grinder and the 4500 watt water heater. I usually turn those off unless I need it.

I can't quite see the label on the compressor unless I take the top cover off.
 
Sepsis was my initial thought as well Kevin. Are they going to redraw his blood cultures? If you are there, have them draw them from two different sites.
Good morning Keith! The lactic acid is back to normal. Symptoms have greatly improved, the are thinking the dural tear has healed. He texted me this morning that they said he will be going home today. Fingers crossed!
 
Central air can only cool air by approximately 15-20 degrees below ambient outside.

So once it crosses 100 degrees outside, a normal system operating at full potential would keep the house at 80.

If you can lower the ambient around the unit, and make it 90, then the house can be cooled to 70
never knew that. my unit had the temp in the house down to 70 though with it being 102 outside. I had a neighbor that a while back took hers down too cold and it froze the coils. was told if that ever happens, just leave the fan going on it for a while to defrost it. I have no idea what she must have had it at. but o the hottest 2 weeks during covid a lil mouse ran across the contacts and fried out the unit. needed a new compressor and a couple other pieces.

What he said isn't true. If so, every house in the south would be sitting at 80 degrees in the summer months. I know my A/C unit sits in the direct sun in the afternoon, it was 98 on Sunday and the house was 68 inside. When I lived in Arizona... it would be 115 outside and my house was 68.... In Texas, it'd be 100-110 for months on end, house always cool.
