hell in a bucket
The house is in a downward spiral, and we're trying to pull it out before all our nerves crash and burn. Yes, I'm whining, but this weekend hasn't been fun.
First there's the floor. No, it didn't get done Saturday. The flooring guys kept blaming the tile guy, who didn't show up to cut a straight line on the remaining tile at the garage entrance, so they couldn't lay the wood there...which is true. Even if he would have shown up though, they still have too much to do. They should be done today though (as long as the mysterious tile guy shows up), and we've made arrangements for someone to baby sit them. So far, not too bad, and that by itself would have been OK to deal with.
But then, the air conditioner died Saturday night, and as heat rises, the small area upstairs we're calling home now became...well, very warm. We've got all the windows open, but that's not doing a whol;e loy during the day except increasing the humidity level. By 2:00 in the morning though, it's cooling off. Still, we're dealing.
Then this morning, around 4:30, this noise from downstairs wakes the wife and me up. It's the refrigerator. The little flap that lets the ice out of the front door is opening and closing, and each time it closes, it closes with a loud slap...and all the little lights on the front of it are blinking. I'm turning everything off and back on, hoping I'm resetting some switch to make it stop, and it did....for about 5 minutes. Then it started up again.
Now...bottom line...the air conditioning guy and the refrigerator guy can't come till tomorrow. The house is very warm and the quiet is interrupted every 5 seconds by a loud slap. Hopefully the floors are done by then. I need a sanity check.
Thoughts on tonights basketball game....
This is Florida's game to win. There's no way Ohio State should even be on the floor with them. Why are they bothering to play this game? Sounds an awful lot like January with the BCS Championship football game, doesn't it?...except the shoe's on the other foot. Same two schools, but Ohio State's playing the underdog role...and again, I think it'd be great if they show everyone the experts have no clue what they're talking about.
ps. It's getting better. The A/C unit needs a new motor, and they can't find one. They're still looking and I hope they can. The story we're getting now is if they can't, they have to order it from the factory, and we can get it April 20th.
