Ya know, just when you think things are going really well...life just dumps on ya. So like I was saying in yesterday's blog...things are going really well...then today happens! It was as if God wanted everything to go wrong today...well mission accomplished.
So first I call a guy in to take a look at why the big AC isn't working in our dining room. He doesn't show up when he's supposed too and ruins the entire afternoon. Was originally showing up between 12-2...then called said there was an emergency and that he could reschedule to 4-5. OK so when he finally gets here (5:15 BTW)...he takes a look at the AC and the compressor is shot. Fantastic news! OK well since he came so late and I had gotten my hands into a number of other things around the house, I wasn't able to make it up to Nick's house to hang out with the Dragons tonight. I did a lot of laundry today which was good and then strike two comes just after I eat dinner tonight. The god damn dryer's heating element now doesn't work anymore. AWESOME!
Now there is a little back story to this whole dryer crap. At some point during the winter our dryer outtake line became clogged. Basically no air was able to move outside because....with the very cold weather and the outtake line being in the attic (with no heat) any water residue that was built up in the line froze. This caused the entire line to sag in the middle, not allowing anything out. One day I just quickly opened up the attic "door" outside on our balcony and tried to take a look at what was going on. That was when I realized everything that I explained before. Now in the winter we had asked our landlord NUMEROUS times that something needed to be looked at because our clothes were not being dried by our dryer. He never came, never came...forgot (this is also how our lease issue has been too), then after i told him what the issue was...he said that it was "OUR" responsibility to fix it. I was like WTF dude...NO! First off i have to climb a 6 foot ladder on our balcony, to even get into the attic, then I would have to carefully walk on the 1900 looking wood up there to even got to the area where the line comes in to fix it. So now we come to today...all of the not fixing the outtake line and replacing what needed to be replaced has now caused the dryer's heating element to conk out. FANTASTIC!!!!
I really don't understand. Now I get to call my landlord AGAIN tomorrow to explain what his lack of attentiveness has caused. That should be a fun conversation. Well that really it for tonight, not in the mood to really write anymore. Erin is finally home tomorrow so that will be good! Peace
