The A/C repair guy came out a week and a half ago, scheduled a follow-up call from a salesperson, and that was that. Except no follow-up call ever occurred, and it's gotten hot as blazes in the afternoons. Mrs. Cwabs is supposed to be calling them to find out where the hell they are. In the meantime, I bought a $80 window unit from Wal-Mart that, outside of smooshing a finger when installing the thing, is working like a 5,000 BTU champ as long as the bedroom door stays closed. The cats haven't figured out that its more comfortable there, only noisier.
Yesterday the cable from the garage door to the counterbalance spring came off the drum, which means that the door only goes up and down with extensive heavy lifting. Well, not so much down, which it does with no extra encouragement whatsoever. The service call for that little problem will run either $60 or $150, which isn't too bad, I guess.
I got Mrs. Cwabs' tire replaced at Costco--it was still under warranty, so it only cost $60 to fix that instead of the $160 a new tire would have cost.
Now if I can get the dishwasher fixed (it works, but it's touchy about how you use it), the magic hundred dollar light bulb over the stove replaced, and the window glass, the hole in the ceiling, and the bedroom door replaced (all the results of a little Cwab's destructive bent coupled with young teenage boredom), and a whole much of stuff cleaned, the house will be bright and shiny again.
