OK I'm off from work today because my central air conditioning died last week and the guys came to take a look at it around 7:30 am. I need to have a new compressor installed ($1700.00 smack-a-roos folks) sometime next week. I can't complain about the Krause Heating and Cooling guys because the same company refurbished my roof and did an excellent job. If you're in the Baltimore area I would highly reccomend these people for any home improvement or remodelling job. They're FABULOUS!
Moving on (no pun intended)...I will never-ever purchase any product from Sears again. My fridge died so I went to the local Sears store, ordered a new fridge, set up the delivery and thought everything was jake. The new fridge was delivered around May 28th and promptly died a week later. I called and got a repair man in who told me that I needed a new fridge-fine-he ordered one and again I thought everything was jake. The morning of the delivery (mind you this is two weeks without refridgeration going on three weeks) I got a phone call from them saying that they couldn't deliver and I'd have to wait yet another week. I was having none of that nonsence so I called and cancelled the order. What happened to pride in craftsmanship and customer service? It ain't at Sears anymore.
So...went on line to Best Buy and ordered another fridge. *sigh* I just got an e mail from them saying that delivery should be sometime after June 29th, which would be fine if I wouldn't be selling my house. My closing is on June 30th at 1pm which means that I need to have a blasted fridge before the new owner walks through on that morning. Why is home ownership such an ordeal? And why is appliance delivery a gauntlet of terror? Does life really need to be this complicated?
I will be so glad to get out of this house it scares me. On a more positive note it's been one hell of a learning experience and I doubt I'll forget it.
