Albert,

Not only do I congratulate you on a job well done but thank you for posting the blow by blows here on the site to share with us.

Actually, the truth be known, I think you're just a wimp when it comes to the mild Houston summers so you had to get it done quick.

Seriously, I've spent enough time in Houston in the summer to understand the need for the a/c. I lived in dry Lubbock as a teenager and when we came to Dallas in the summer it just killed us because of the humidity. You go from Dallas, with moderate humidity, to Houston and there's that much MORE difference. The heat and humidity is absolutely brutal.

I know what you mean about the feeling of accomplishment after you've done something like this. After you've been there and done that then you know that you can repeat the job and its great to have that confidence.

That said, my 124 evaporator is still holding tight. MAYBE I'll dodge the bullet altogether. If it starts leaking though, I'll just drop it by your place and use the 500E 'til you're done.

Hope to see you again soon,
