A/C Fixed

Junior fixed our air conditioner. He ended up taking it out of the window, and taking it apart in the front yard. The problem was caused by cat hair. When we had Ginger inside the house, the outside cats would jump onto the back of the unit to see inside. I believe I have posted pictures in the past of one cat inside and one cat outside, staring at each other. Anyway, Junior was able to clean the unit completely, and now it runs like a brand new air conditioner. He likes it to be really cool, so I walk around in pants with a blanket around my shoulders. I like to be cool, but it is freezing in here.

Junior got the unit back into the window pretty easily, because we kind of broke it trying to get the unit out. There was a lot of prying with a screwdriver to get the unit out, and it brought back flashbacks of when we moved in. I thought back then that we would have to go with Sears Window Replacement because Junior and his friend were rough with our window. They had to slam it up to break the little hook things on the sides that kept the window up when it was open. The unit barely fit, and it took a lot of wiggling to get it in back then. This time, because the pieces were already gone, it just slid right in. I am glad the management company didn't have to do window replacement because I don't think they would have been too happy about that. Even though Sears Replacement Windows are reasonably priced, we probably would have been evicted the first month if Junior had broken the window.

It's all good now, though. We have (mostly) unbroken windows, and a working air conditioner. It doesn't get any better than that.

Hooray for Junior. Broken AC is not something I would tolerate very well! I don't like the heat! I melt. Like the wicked witch in Wizard of Oz when they put water on her. I even sound like her, "Helllllp meeeee"
