The tremolo arm on your favorite guitar, for example, is actually a vibrato arm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Osaurus Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 (edited) So an “easy fix” of a relay on my air handler has resulted in yet another day of no AC. 87 degrees in the house right now and no sooner to a conclusion than when the tech first arrived this morning.

This truly sucks. Can you get a window AC unit for the bedroom? At least you can sleep at night that way and even though it's an expense I'm sure you didn't want, you can keep it somewhere for another just in case situation or you can sell it for something close to the price since it would be in new condition. I'm sure it's cheaper than staying in a hotel until this is fixed. Maybe I'm more sensitive to heat than others, but I couldn't stand it if it were 80+ degrees in the house. I work from home and I wouldn't get much work done and I would be really tired all day because I wouldn't be able to sleep at all in that heat.

I am pretty close to calling another company and seeing what they can do for me. For those playing at home, here are the events that have transpired so far: 1. Tech 1 comes over, unclogs the drain pipe with serious blockage, proceeds to play with some wiring in my air handler, and then tells me the motor is dead even though it worked fine up until he touched it. 2. Tech 2 shows up 3 days later, replaces “broken” motor, tells me the motor was never broken, but the relay is. He wires the thermostat directly to the air handler and we have AC for multiple days until a new relay can be shipped. 3. Tech 3 shows up with relay, replaces relay, the air handler doesn’t start back up, he swears up and down that the thermostat must be broken, I buy a new one and he installs it with no success, puts the old one back in, and is still trying to figure out the issue. I’m waiting to be told my whole system is shot bc they can’t find anything else wrong. It’s 6 years old and has plenty of life to it. Have a few other companies on speed dial and considering the nuclear option. This is truly the definition of insanity.

No. Turned out after all that the new relay was actually bad. Yes, it’s something I suggested to the tech hours ago since it was the only thing different in the equation. AC is back on after once again bypassing a bad relay. Looking forward to San Diego and Portland next week.

GroveDiesel Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 In Colorado Springs with my wife celebrating our 20th anniversary. Nice area. Manitou Springs is a fun little town. Very eclectic. Wish we could have done more hiking than what we’ve done, but my wife managed to fall and sprain her ankle/break her wrist a week before we came out. Throughout our marriage she’s done her best to push the limits of the whole “in sickness and health” thing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heckmanm Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 Decided to take a whiz in the back yard last night, because I can. The dogs were also out back, around the corner (I went out the side door of the garage), and when they heard me come out, started running over barking and growling. Pretty sure they thought I was an intruder, and it took me a few seconds to convince them of who I was. (good to know that they're defending the property) Anyway, once they calmed down and I convinced the bigger one that he didn't need to stand right in front of me, I returned to the task. As I was walking back into the garage, I look back and he's sniffing around and PEEING RIGHT ON TOP OF MINE. Re-claiming the territory I guess. 2 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If one sees the other one pee somewhere, he has to go squeeze a few drops out on top of it, even if he already went. I guess I need to hold a little bit back next time. And no dogs on the bed overnight. They can hang around if we're sitting up reading/watching TV, etc, but when the lights go out, they have their own beds on the floor.

-fish- Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 Local lady makes lumpia and pancit and sells it through her facebook page. After seeing the reviews, I bought a bunch of lumpia and a half order of pork pancit (she says a full order feeds 8). I have now eaten pancit for lunch and dinner every day since Saturday. I have about 30 vacuum packed lumpia left in my freezer. Best food I've ever bought out of the back of a car in a Target parking lot. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
