A Plug

To my fellow Charlotteans (did I spell that right?) this is a plug for a local heating and air company. Remember in the summer when we were having RECORD high temperatures? Well that's when our AC went out. We called Brothers Heating and Air and they were out that same day to fix us up. I called 3 or 4 places but Brothers was the only one that didn't charge an outrageous fee to come the same day. The man they sent was great- efficient, friendly, and fast. The bill was reasonable.

Sooooo....last night when Maci hollered "Your ceiling is leaking!!! Your ceiling is leaking!!!" We quickly figured out it was time to give them a call again. I'm admitting my ignorance here but I didn't even KNOW we had part of our AC unit in the attic. For some reason they put everything in the attic around here. Makes no sense...leaks are horrible if they happen and getting to the problem is always tricky. Tricky for Brad. I wait safely on ladder step 4...maybe 5 if I feel adventurous. Anyway, the leak Maci was referring to was in our bedroom closet and was more like a fast steady trickle than random drops A number of shirts were already drenched (Brad's side of the closet- thank goodness ;)

To make a long story short....the leak was from the AC unit...he explained it to me and I could try to explain it here but that's really not the point and I may show my ignorance again when I try to use technical terms like "that thingy" and the "other thingy."

Continuing on with the story....we spent last night without air. Thankfully Carolina fall nights are perfect. The day today was not. (90 degrees in October?!) However...no fear because by 2:30 pm my same little man from Brothers was here to save the day. He fixed us up in under an hour, gave a tip on sprinkler systems for my friend AnnMarie, left a modest bill, and was on his way to save someone elses day.

I hope all your hot days are cool and your cold days are warm but if not-- you know who to call!
