My youngest brother was up this weekend to take care

of a few things for Mom and Mom has been complaining

about how hot the house is and the A/C just runs all

the time. Well, he went up into the attic for

something and the attic was cooler than the rest of

the house. He started looking around and the ductwork

wasn't connected to the system properly. He decided

he needed to check the rest of the ducts, so he went

into the lower attic over the garage and it was cool

too. There was a soft ball size hole in one of the

ducts blowing cool air. He said Mom was probably

wasting $60 to $80 a month cooling the attic because

of that. ( She's been complaining about the

electric bill being as high or higher than the old

house, which had about 500 more square feet. Since he

did what he could to stop the leaking it's been much

cooler in the house. Mom called the HVAC company and

reamed them out about it this morning and they are

coming out Wednesday morning to look at it.

What do you mean, the airman is measuring your prednisone?? The babies are with your husband at home and the air conditioner is out? I'm not quite understanding what you mean.
