My Weekend spending spree......

Well the weekend was going along nicely until about oh 11am yesterday when I realized that the AC unit out side was running but we had no air circulation. So out comes the phone book and a quick call to an AC company... Well I got two sorry but we will not be able to come out till tomorrows and finally broke down and called ARS. They had someone out at about 4PM and I found out some very interesting things. 1) My AC unit no longer had a warranty, because the maker went bankrupt about 2 years after I bought the house. 2) the controller board was burned out and it was going to cost $600 to replace.

Neither of these options was what I wanted to hear less than a month from both Christmas and Tax Payment time. But here I was, as ever home owner knows these things do not allow you to chose when they fail, you can only hope that you are lucky enough to catch them before they fail.
