UN-Happiness is....No A/C

Well we had a GREAT trip to Cancun Mexico and just got back on Saturday. The house was warm.... and we heard the unit out back running just fine, but there was NO air coming out of any vents. Went down stairs to check the furnace room to find water EVERYWHERE on the floor.We had someone house/dog sitting and when she left later Saturday afternoon she said the house was perfect so it happened a few hours after she left. Oh well....so we had to call our home warranty company and report this...and I had to call them back 4 times today because the company obviously didn't understand "URGENT" and "Medical Condition" and wanted to send someone out late afternoon tomorrrow?? UH....HELL NO. I called the warrenty company back, and this time got a supervisor and literally ripped him a new one. And he completely understood my frustration and got someone out to my home Today...and they were there by 1pm (only 2 hours after talking to him).

But now for the really SUCKY news...
due to the build up of water in the system (from the blocked condenser drainage line) it started leaking IN the furnace unit and completely shorted out the control board of the system. So we're screwed until they get a new board, install it and check to see what other problems there might be. They fixed that clogged drainage line but cannot start the unit to see if that was the only problem. The board will not be in until Wednesday and they will be at the house between 10 and 2 that day....UGH. I had that window time frame CRAP.Oh well. Thank goodness for the few storms we've had lately, it's been bringing the temperature out at night. We bought a whole crap load of fans and we've been trying to keep the air circulating (which is not as easy as it sounds) in an already warm house.

So now it's a waiting game.

I just hope my hubby doesn't have any breathing problems or asthma issues between now and then.
