We had been planning for the new addition since we found out we were having a baby.
We just didn’t realize how much it was going to cost, or how long it would take to be added onto our home.
The contractors came up with a lot of interesting problems, and we were starting to think we were reliving the movie, ‘’The Movie Pit’’. When the room was just about finished, we had another problem. They hadn’t made arrangements for HVAC in the room. There were no air ducts for the HVAC system we now had, and he wasn’t sure what to do. My wife told him to call their HVAC contractor and get the situation straightened out. They were making a lot of money on this project, and she would stop payment on the checks if he didn’t take care of the HVAC system. The next day, the HVAC contractor showed up. He was telling us that the way the contractor had put the new addition on, he couldn’t get ductwork into that part of the house. Where the room was located, it probably wouldn’t have a lot of heat or air conditioning getting there, even if he could extend the ductwork. He told us he recommended we call the HVAC company and ask for a single unit mini split ductless HVAC system. He would make sure it was installed for free, but it would be much cheaper to but it through the HVAC company than if it was bought through him and the contractor. He said it would also be delivered much more quickly.
