My wife and recently decided to develop the basement of our house. Interest rates are good, our mortgage was up for renewal, and construction costs are lower than they've been in years.

I'll go more into the details in another post. However, one of the things that we "discussed" often was putting in central air conditioning for the whole house while doing the development. She was for it, and I was against it. Well, not really against it, but I just wasn't sure we get enough hot days here to really justify the cost. And the fact that it has been raining nearly non-stop since March has significantly improved my case.

So, skip forward a couple more weeksto the point where I lost that argument, and the air conditioning is installed.

This weekend was the first time where we've actually had occasion to use it, since it hit 30 Celcius outside. And I must admit, walking inside after doing yard work, from a 30C backyard to a 22C kitchen is pretty damned sweet.

I'll never admit that she was right, but I'll certainly enjoy a good night's sleep without having to worry about open windows, fans, and how many layers of skin and bone I can shed before finally getting comfortable.
