With a week of mid 30 degrees Cath began questioning the need for air conditioning downstairs, so we headed out to get some information and pricing.
The general consensus was we would need to look at the highest KW unit that single phase power could provide and installed it would be around $5500 plus dollars.
Considering that the air conditioning is for only downstairs and that traditionally there is only 1 to 2 nights a year that upstairs is uncomfortable and the fact that hot days we normally head out to the beach or are away on holiday during summer anyway I didn’t think this was great value for money.
I wondered if a spa might not be a better idea????
Looking on ebay the following day I spotted a spa that had been advertised badly, with poor pictures and had only 4 hours remaining and zero bids on it.
After speaking to Cath we decided we would put on a single bid and if we won it so be it and if we didn’t it wasn't meant to be.
Well… we won it with the one and only bid.
Now the dilemma started, how do we pick it up and where do we put it?
As one thing always seems to leads to another follow my progress as I create the area for the spa to go.
