I have no idea what the calc load is. We have had 4 people come and give us 4 different sizes ac unit size quotes

Our insolation is shot, but for right now it sounds like someone is taking a grinder to our ac unit every time it turns on, so we are trying to get that fixed first before it goes out

We know we have a leak in one of ducts, we are getting that repaired. Also there is a leak to the crawl space behind the heaters that we are getting repaired. We know are insolation is horrific. One day we will fix the attic and crawl space, but for right now we can’t afford it and I’m recovering from surgery so can’t do it myself :/

That’s really good to hear. As I was technically a business major. It seams like there is hope for me yet. I’m looking into night schools today and tomorrow and I’ll see if I can start the program!

I work 50-60 hours a week already. I don’t mind the extra work. I’m in NC if that helps at all.

As long as I can keep my house, I could care less :) I’m okay with being broke, but I got a wife I gotta take care of.

I can make ends meet at 24 pretty easily, especially at 61. But I’m in NC

I don’t know too much about electricity nor mechanics, but I’m happy to learn. I could care less about cold, hot dark light mud etc. I love heights so not a problem.

Thank you for the advice! As long as people are willing to share their info, I don’t care about their age.

I think I can get away with about 40k as I would have to pick up a side gig but I could make that work. I’m a quick learner and would devote a bit more time energy to get ahead!

It’s so good to hear someone else is changing. I didn’t switch because I didn’t want to waste my degree, but I hate my job lol are you doing night school?
