Yikes.. Dls you need to call another A/C company. That’s absurd.

[Stratton20]

I'd call around too, but it's probably a common problem right now with ongoing supply chain issues. There are missing parts for a lot of things right now, or just entire products not in anyone's inventory or warehouses right now. Pool heaters are one of them.

Issues related to Covid and the Suez Canal incident. By the way, all the cargo on that ship is being held by the Egyptian government until the claims are settled and the government gets paid. Tens of millions. That process may take years. In the meantime, that inventory is just gonna sit and rot/rust.

The model watching will drive you crazy.

The forecast for this one is actually pretty straightforward. I don’t expect any significant changes in the thinking between now and landfall.

I ran my sprinklers today.

Yeah, I don't seem anything tricky about this mess. A few showers along the SETX shore, but the bulk of activity in Louisiana and east.

Drive to Biloxi if you want to see any action from this one

It’s a supply chain issue. The company is great.

A few seabreeze thunderstorms this evening that will make a beautiful sunset for some and a wet sunset for others.

[Stratton20]

One of the best. I'm privileged to say I've seen him live - a bucket-list item checked-off about 8-ish years ago. It was one of the best shows I've been to. Not just the music but also the vibe and the atmosphere.

It's still 92 degrees outside here at the casa. I'm afraid August is going to be hell for us.

I’ve been having issues with my a/c recently as well. You’re not alone. I’m not sure what the heck is going on. Been in the 80’s several times in the past week inside my house with the temp set to 76.

[davidiowx]

^ sounds like a Freon issue.

Have had some nice showers, lots of lightning and thunder this evening. The best is the cool winds coming down. I had .4” last night and right at .2” so far. The cool breeze is just amazing as the wife and I watch the Astros continue this whoopin on the Rangers

A/c company has been out here twice and haven’t found anything. Been working fine at night when the temps have cooled but during the day it wasn’t keeping up. But the past 2-3 days it’s been working fine. No clue.

It’s the dang coil. It’s ordered. Just taking too long. It’s even under warranty

Go buy a small window unit to cool one room until the parts arrive. Then keep the window unit to run on a generator in the event we have a hurricane that knocks out power. That’s what I did for Ike. Went to Home Depot and bought a generator, mini fridge, and had a small window ac. Left the generator in the box in case I didn’t need it. Turns out I did need everything I had bought. Maybe using a small ac will help keep you cool until the parts arrive.

Thats what I had to do last year. Buy a window unit to help my central AC cool the house in these 95-100 temps. Its done wonders. I have a NEST so I check throughout the day while at work and highest temp inside today was 73. Without my window unit to help out, yeah it would have been in the 80s inside. When fall arrives, just take it out of the window and store it till next year. I have central Ac and heat but I also bought two small window units for hurricane season to plug into my generator. It saved me and my elderly mother and family last year when we got hit and had no power for a week. I will ALWAYS have window units on hand. Assist my AC during extreme temps and life saving during hurricane season. I tell ALL my family and friends to have one available and on standby. Dont need to use it, just have it for emergencies. We cooled two rooms, shut the doors and it was like the central AC power was never off. Plugged in some lamps, fridge, cable boxes and tvs and we were good to go!

[DoctorMu]

Really good idea about window unit + generator. I think this is in our future with the Texas grid undependable.

Yep. Me too. It’s better to have it on hand and not need it rather than need it and not have it.

[Rip76]

Man, not even an outflow boundary out here tonight for a cool-down.
