A CRANE!!

We've started making some changes to the new (old) house and today was a pretty exciting day for the little guys.

In climates without much humidity, you can use something called a swamp cooler, or evaporative cooler, to cool your home.  They are very energy efficient and take the edge off the heat we hear, but the idea of water in a box on top of our roof with a spongy material just kinda grosses us out.  We wanted to make the switch to central AC and had workers at the house the last 2 days getting it done.  Here they are getting the swamp cooler ready to be removed.  It kinda looks like an RV parked on top of the house, doesn't it?

Then, the really AMAZING part happened!  They brought a big crane truck in to lift it off the roof.  Our very own crane!  The boys were a little impatient when it was just parked and getting ready, but man did they think it was cool when it was working!



Brothers and a crane:


See ya swamp cooler!


Nice new central AC!  What an exciting arrival after a week straight of over 100 degrees and sunny!

Andrew the Builder is pretty excited about meeting all sorts of builders.  He stood back and watched them every step of the way, asked lots of questions, and I'm sure provided a useful tip or two.  Next week, he'll get to meet an electrician, movers, and a floor guy!  Oh boy!

Have a wonderful 4th of July everyone!
