Burning or Freezing - Either Way It's Broke Again




For those of you that know me my air conditioner went out this summer and it was a nightmare getting it fixed because of the warranty company. I finally ended up; after countless arguments and two companies later, getting a complete new air conditioner AND furnace at the end of summer right when the heat wave broke and I didn't need it any longer. I know, totally ironic. However I had a brand new furance all ready for winter. I of course, sassy as always made the comment to many that "just wait the first cold night and I know the new furnace won't work." The guys assured me that it would as they had tested it several times.

Well here we are Thanksgiving night, it's really cold and the pilot light won't light and no one in my family can get it to light. My niece even has one just like it so my brother-in-law has started hers but OF COURSE mine isn't doing what the instructions are saying they are supposed to do and the gas won't seem to feed to the heater.

Here we are, thankful on this day for so many things but freezing to death and I KNEW this would happen. This money pit of a house cracks me up each and every time I turn around.

Now I can call the warranty company tomorrow and get yanked around tomorrow for 2-3 days while it's freezing or I can just call a company here in town and spend money tha I absolutely DO NOT HAVE to fix it now. Gee, what should I do. Well I have a 2 year old so guess what I have to make the call first thing in the morning and pretend I have money.

Loving this day. Just wanted to vent about my forever money pit of a house.
