If the AC unit is not on when it is that warm I will turn it on at the thermostat. How else are you going to know if it is working at all or cooling properly.

That's absolutely the wrong way to do it. Standards dictate that you go around counter-clockwise. I hope you change your methods!!!

Depends on whether the house number is even or odd. That is what they teach at Willard's Home Inspector Academy.



"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks nothing is worth a war, is worse. A man who has nothing which he cares more about than he does about his personal safety is a miserable creature who has no chance at being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."

- John Stuart Mill
