Relief is on the way, or so I think. Yesterday we finally received a reasonable quote on a unit with total replacement. Sure, I'll be paying for this situation just as if it we're a mid-sized sedan, but at least I'll be cool. I'll just be glad to get the house back to normal. Right now it looks like homeless people ran across a nice home, and just decided to make it their new habitat.
Each day the homeless would scour refuse bins and street sides looking for anything to salvage. And as time progressed, they found several window units, an old sheet, a box fan, a small oscillating fan, some chairs and random other items. They would set up these items in pure homeless fashion, setting them up in odd places at various levels and in different directions. This is how my home looks. There are two different window units, one in the living room and one in the bedroom. There is a sheet blocking the doorway to the kitchen to keep the cold air from escaping the living room. There are box fans and little fans spread throughout the house on chairs, desks and tables to try and get some kind of air circulating. We have been reluctant to turn on lights or even use the stove because in doing so, we may find ourselves on the floor and dragging our overheated bodies to a room with an air conditioner. So the resulting home looks like it has no power, due to how dark it is, yet there are window units everyplace. And because the stove would heat our already totally uncooled kitchen, we cannot cook. So this has resulted in fast food bags, pizza boxes, drink cups and Big Mac boxes scattered around the house. So with all this in mind, anyone entering our home would certainly assume that it's once proud and sterile occupants were killed by transient hobo drifters and it was these men that were now the current residents.
So needless to say, I am so so excited to finally get things back to normal. I think I may throw a house back to normal party. The excitement and hype will be that people can come into my home and sit quietly in air conditioning. I think the theme will be "Rock Out With Your @#$& Out, But While Wearing Clothes In My Newly Air Conditioned Home." I may have to come up with an acronym..something like The ROWYCO,BWWCIMNAH Party. Either way, I just want some cold air and I hope we get it soon. The place we hired is supposed to be coming out to put it tomorrow and it won't be a day too soon.
