This kitten totally made my day!!!

I have to admit after my office had no air conditioning on one of the hottest days of the year so far with a heat index closing in on 105 degrees Fahrenheit.  My sister found this video while we were sweating in the office and we laughed so much about it....

I didn't much care for the nerdy song...BUT the kitten STOLE THE SHOW!!!!

So freaking funny! I hope it made you laugh today too.

Air Conditioning Drama...has come to an end.

Well to let you all know what ended up happening was certainly interesting to say the least.

The original company that came to try and fix the problem (and will NEVER set foot on our property EVER again) said we needed a new unit. Our warranty company requires a second opinion from another contractor before replacing and entire A/C unit. Well the second company came out, literally, right away and with two guys who looked at EVERY nook and cranny of our A/C unit. The first question they asked was WHO was the other company that came out and said we needed a new unit. When Flipper told them the company name, they said "say no more" that the company did not have a very good reputation or track record at all. The problem that they found was the new circuit boards that were installed by that company were COMPLETELY wired wrong and that's why our old thermostat was completely fried. We have a new thermostat, keep in mind not as nice (in our opinion) as our other one, but it's still digital and does it's job. The guys re-wired the unit, CORRECTLY, and we had our A/C working in under 45 minutes of them being here.

So we now have our A/C back and all is finally well back at the Casa De Flipper.

Air Conditioning woes....continue

Well....thanks to my great boss. My home is at least moderately cool after borrowing a few A/C Window units.On calling the A/C company this morning, the new repair guy is picking up our part and hopefully going to be making his way to our house this afternoon, if not sooner.But it's not going to happen. I just got a call from my other half and he said the repairman isn't even coming out. Because when he went to pick up the part, he examined it to make sure it was the right part and that is was ok. Well the part was missing a part. WTF?????
The receptionist at the company called Flipper and told him that a new part is being ordered and it will not be in until Monday and our original repairman will have us assigned to be his first job that morning.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

Thank God for the window units...THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU Race!!!

Him (Race) and I discussed yesterday how we both had little faith that things were going to get resolved tomorrow. I agreed with him, but my hope was that they would prove me wrong. And they proved both of us right.

We were going to have a cook out this weekend at the house but we're going to cancel it. I just don't feel comfy having people over on a hot day with not adequate cooling for the house. Even though it's cooled of inside at the moment, but people going in and out all day and such will not keep it that way. Oh well, we can celebrate my b-day another time.

I just want this crap resolved. Grrrrr

Air-conditioning part 2

Well today, my hubby took a half day so he could stay home for the AC Repair people. Well...they came and went. An still NO AC. Apparently he miss assessed the complete extent of the damage and apparently all 3 circuit boards needed to be replaced and not just 2. Well he's ordered the third and said he'd be back around 10am to fix it tomorrow.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

Well, now it's my turn. And I'm going to work from home tomorrow. Thanks to my kind boss (Thank You Race) and he's even offered that if they can't fix it tomorrow that we can borrow a few window A/C Units for Friday and the Weekend because the temp is supposed to go up again. Hopefully it won't come to that but who knows. Damn this is annoying.

*raises my glass of water* Here's to hoping for the best tomorrow.

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.
