Emergency Home Repair Situation
September 17th, 2017 at 04:37 pmI have just learned I have a large and potentially quite expensive home repair which must be done ASAP.
The 4th and smallest bedroom in my house, which is used as storage and seldom visited by anyone, has a large hole in the ceiling. And it's dripping water. And I'm going to guess this has been a problem for awhile but I did not know.
My AC unit is roof mounted and not too far from the hole in the ceiling. As it has not rained in quite some time, I suspect the AC unit is the source of the water.
I have a call in to an emergency AC repair place. I need the AC inspected and possibly repaired. If it's not the AC, I guess my next call will be to a plumber.
The water leak will have to be addressed before the ceiling repairs can even start.
I have to leave in about 6 hours. I am going to have to rely on J to deal with the repair people here, though of course I am available by phone and e-mail.
Remember: don't worry, be happy.
Living in a Travel Trailer
September 15th, 2017 at 04:48 pmSB and I have been living in a travel trailer for the past week. It's a 22 footer. Yep, space is at a premium for sure.
I am enjoying the beautiful surroundings, the friendliness of the people in the town center, and spying critters during my commute. Mostly I see deer and wild turkeys. This city girl is charmed by each one.
There is so much new in my life these days!
I am settling in at work and starting to get the hang of the workflow here.
I can breathe so much better and am already more active. I joined a Curves gym right up the street from work and have already dropped a couple of pounds. I hope a few of their friends are soon to follow.
Tonight SB and I are joining another couple and taking a picnic dinner to a local winery. They have live music and wine for sale. The winery offers this event on Friday nights all summer long. We've been twice already. Tonight is the last one until next year.
Tomorrow I will head to my house, spending one night. I will box up and donate some more stuff. Oh, the never-ending stuff! How did I get so much of it?
