2010...the year of air condintioning woes

It seems that this is our YEAR of air conditioning woes...

Started with the truck a couple of months ago, driving down the road and whoa! HOT air coming out on the drivers side and at full blast mind you. It was coming out fine on the passenger side, but not the drivers side. So Jason looked up some information on the internet (he's very good at being resourceful) and found a fix for it. YAY! No more hot air, we can move on.

Not long after the truck's incident the house air conditioning unit started giving us problems. Well, I shouldn't say started giving us problems...it's never really been able to fully keep up (especially the upstairs unit), but one day it (the upstairs unit) had finally decided it had enough and kaput it went OUT! Nothing like not having air upstairs in the middle of summer in GA.

Acting quickly we got a hold of someone to fix the upstairs unit and while they were at it, they went ahead and replaced the downstairs unit as well. ICK!!! After some what seemed like were going to be big time headaches, turned out to be minimal headaches, were fixed the air conditioners were WORKING! Being more efficient is an added bonus to being cool.

Transition to today, the truck is in the shop getting diagnostic tests ran to see just exactly what is going on. While it is no longer blowing out HOT air, it appears to be possessed....coming on when it feels like it, blowing out cool air at random speeds that seem to be affected by the brake pedal. Amazingly frustrated at how expensive this summer has been with air conditioners! Hoping to get an inexpensive fix today...No, PRAYING to get an inexpensive fix today!

Dinner last night was met with no complaints. Could be because it is one that they ALL enjoy...Baked chicken, mac-n-cheese, and a veg or fruit (note, no mashed potatoes...lol)
