It Seems There is Always Something

It's been hot here, and yesterday, it was like 90 F outside with a temperature a little greater than 32 C. A friend of mine came in after I had a medical visit. I was showing him the new Dune Part 2 movie I purchased from Fandango. It seemed really hot in the house. I thought it could be me, but I asked my friend. He said it

was hot inside, so he went out to check the two condensing units on the air conditioning systems in this house. He said one at the top of the fan was not nearly warm enough. I can still get around some if I don't fall down. We checked the filters, and they were good. He was going to dive all the way to Sevierville to

get a set of gauges to check the pressures of that system. I told him before driving all that way. We needed to quickly look in the basement and ensure nothing was awry there. It is a two-story house with a full basement, so he helped me down the stairs. I inspected the ductwork and one of the two

cold/hot air returns for that unit is made from that flexible piping. It had a dip in it, which had pulled the insulation down a small way. That area of return was full of water due to condensation. He got some buckets, took that one loose, and we drained it. The temperature out of the out of grills on the floor upstairs dropped

some 17 degrees. It quickly cooled the house, but I get aggravated at such things. I was in a better position than most. I am handy with stuff, so he is bringing some hard pipe this morning, and we will replace that. I just hate

getting aggravated like that. It's not good for my already bad nerves. He told me to look at it this way: I didn't have to wait for an HVAC representative to repair it. The title is true. Seems as if there is always something.

@16PennyNail that is one of the drawbacks in a house, things break. Some people solve that by going to an apartment, but then things break and you are waiting for the landlord to fix it.

Sounds like you have a really good friend. Maybe rather than be angry that things breakdown, you might be grateful that you have some really good people in your life.

Our attitude is usually the determining factor whether we are happy or miserable. To use the old saw, at least the glass is half full, and not half empty. It all depends on how you look at it.

Thats why i live in an apartment. I cannot deal!

Oh, I am very grateful @CANDC It was just annoying. He came by and dropped the materials off, but he had gotten hung up on some kind of service thing. He said he would be back tomorrow. I just had the nurse make sure I got down the stairs okay and fixed it myself. It is back to 100% operational capacity, but I wore myself out. I fixed it correctly, and there should be no more trouble with that. Let's see if that condensation can defeat hard pipe and gravity. I even insulated it quite well, but I was knackered when finished. I had to get the nurse to assist me a little bit as I took a cold shower. You use cold water, as you get that fiberglass all over you, I had to call and cancel on my RAINN hotline tonight. Too tired for that.
