Things we forgot we did!

We apparently accomplished so much since our last blog post we forgot that we had done more.

Last night Mike got the cable upstairs fixed last night and has plans to play with the excess wire tonight.

Our sink upstairs is fixed ... again. After a long battle with some small o-rings Mike got it working. But it still leaked. So Mike pulled the sink apart and we were sinkless for a little while. Yesterday he was able to mess with it and was able to replace the whole thing with a new one, that doesn't leak.

And our heater works! About three weeks ago we woke up on a chilly morning to discover that our heater doesn't work. We called our home warranty and got an appointment with the company they contract with. They could only come out a week after our original call and of course, we were at work so Anne had to go by to open up the house for them. Somehow the technician that showed up thought we needed our air conditioner looked at and that's what he evaluated. He said our air conditioner was "brand new" when its really 10 years old. Once we realized it didn't work we called the company back and tried to set another appointment, a week later. This time, Mike was there and made sure the technician that showed up was actually looking at the heater. He did and lo and behold he needs a part he didn't have. In the meantime we had to buy a space heater for the baby's room and brought down the flannel comforter for our room.

The technician was supposed to go to the warehouse the next day to get the part, then call Mike to set the appointment. I got a call that day from the company and when I answered they said they called me because Mike had hung up on them. I said, "Yep, probably because he's probably pissed." My guess was right, they had called to tell him that they couldn't get the part until the following week. I told them we'd had to get a heater for the baby, and it would have been three weeks without a heater by the time they got the next appointment. They were very apologetic but it wasn't going to get it done any faster.

When they did come the next week, the same technician that Mike had met came back and got it fixed. Mike still called and complained to the company though, after each disappointment. When he looked them up on Yelp it turns out the heating company had 1.5/5 stars. Boy, I wonder why.
