Hubby is a plumber by trade but he’s pretty good at everything – except HVAC work. Of course when our furnace broke last week, I went into a full fledged panic. Are we going to be able to pay off debt? Is this furnace going to break us?
In between my cold sweats, hubby was on the phone. Turns out, his cousin is an HVAC installation guy and he owed him one for some plumbing work my husband did a few months ago.
Hubby’s cousin has been in the furnace closet for two hours now.
Whirrr. Click. Whirrrr. Click. Stomp. Slam. Whirrr. Click. Mumble. Mumble. Gzzzzrrrr.
Apparently ‘install’ guys aren’t the same as ‘repair/maintenance’ guys.
I’m sitting in our office, glass of cheap wine firmly in hand, praying the next two hours go better than the last two.
Our budget depends on it.
