re: #358 klys and whatnot

We looked at getting stuff a while back but without updating the electrical I’ve been extremely wary of anything that draws significant current on a regular basis.

Now that we’re updating the electrical, we’re just going to go ahead and put in central; we have too few windows to sacrifice part of one to an AC unit. It will help with resale and it’ll make the next year or two much more bearable. It used to not be like this nearly so often; I don’t want to necessarily say this is climate change in action but chances are quite good that this is going to be the new normal.

I do wonder what climate change will bring to my little corner of the world. The last two winters have been rather harsh; also, I recall the winter of 2009-2010 which began freakishly early. Usually, we don’t get any snow until after Christmas. It began snowing in late October in 2009 and didn’t let up for two months. By January 2010, there was twice as much snowfall recorded as normal. This last winter, it began snowing here around late November, which is also earlier than usual.
