The original money pit strikes again

Although the bulk of our efforts since May have been focused on getting the river house ready for use, we have had to take care of some issues at our primary residence. You can't exactly live without AC during a sweltering Texas summer. Or at least I'm not willing to live like that. Therefore, we had the largest HVAC unit replaced in the main house. We survived with just fans in the master wing for a couple weeks since we have two other units serving the main house. The guest apartment out back also needed a new compressor, so we decided to bite the bullet and replace that one, too. Now we're all set, come triple digits or another freakish snow-filled Arctic blast this winter.

The other bit of maintenance we had done recently was tying the cabana's septic into the guest apartment's existing aerobic system. Today I had three pallets of St Augustine grass put down to cover the trenched areas that left us with dirt patches in the yard. It's hard to list a house for top dollar with a lawn that's looking rather worse for wear.
