No Way To Pretty It Up!

Our heat pump/air conditioning unit has been installed!  Two technicians arrived right on time and it took about three hours to complete.  We are now the proud owners of a white wall vent...and here she is.  As someone mentioned to me...it won't look as ugly when the heat comes this summer!  True that. 

And the actual unit directly on the outside of that wall.  One technician stated we had the ideal spot for placement...no attics, closets or garages to go through...just straight to the outside.  The unit is secured to a stand with heavy duty brackets and to the house...and along side the walkway.  We don't get a lot of drifting snow there in the winter...and it will be easy to keep it cleared off....as we walk by it to get into the house. 

Some are located out of the way....people build structures to keep snow off.   We won't need to do that.  Mr. Seventies does have to check our propane vents during the winter...on the opposite side of the house...to ensure snow drifts don't cover them...

The company is having a couple of great deals right now...ten years free warranty on labor & parts, ten free cleanings (done yearly) and the unit manufacturer Mitsubishi is offering a $750 Visa card for installs done in April.  Along with a $1200 rebate from the province! Wins on many levels. 

The pellet stove has been officially turned off...and cleaned out one last time!  I thought I would miss the heat from it more...or notice a huge difference....but I really don't.  Next on our to do list...to have it removed and and switched out to propane.   That will get done before fall....

The snow is pretty much gone now...but the lawns and grounds are water logged and mucky!  I desperately needed a pair of water proof rain or duck boots.  Since I needed them asap...I was able to find the perfect pair at Marks....on sale!  Even better....

They were also available in yellow...but none left in my size.  They are super comfortable and very easy to slip on and off when taking Liesel out for potty breaks....

Remember last week, after I dropped Liesel off for grooming...I visited a home decor store close by?  The store has a Facebook page...and happened to have these adorable whale mugs come in!  Well, that meant a second trip to the store....how adorable are these?  It was time to put the snowman mugs away til next winter...and these mugs are so cute!  I picked up one in each available colour...

And remember also...I mentioned an alarm clock that would be perfect for the master bedroom?   It made the trip home with me as well....

I hope everyone had a lovely Easter weekend.  We enjoyed a delicious ham dinner with daughter & family...and son-in-law baked yummy cheesecake tarts for dessert!  Very enjoyable...and grand baby loved her bunny Easter basket...and we read her new book together.

So glad you stopped by today...hop on over to  Metamorphosis Monday at Between Naps on the Porch...I'll be sharing over there on Mondays!!
