Now the house starts to fall apart
I need that little head banging icon
found it.
We are in the home stretch, Dh has completely re painted outside (last summer) and it looks lovely, he has almost finished painting inside too. He's mr fix it. Only now the flippin house wants to fall down about our heads. The stupid AC/Heat unit on the roof decided to act up, now I think it has a mind of it's own. I run it as fan only occasionally in winter to draw heat to the bedrooms from the front room where the wood burner is, works brilliantly (well it did) Then it decided it isn't going to turn off when I flipped the switch off. So then Im afraid the whole unit isn't working right.
Well it got cold enough for me to try it out, I put on the heat and it worked as it's supposed to, we'll see if the AC works once it gets hot. I am not spending $8,000 to $10,000 on a new unit. That is the quote my friend got her went out on Monday. I'm sinking in a money pit and need every penny to buy when we get to UK.
OK rant over sorry about that.

Re: Now the house starts to fall apart
I know! The whole family is excited I am coming back for good!
I have a family wedding to attend 2 weeks later so that will be fantastic.
But of course the down side is that my own 2 kids and 2 grand-kids will still live here in Australia, so my feelings are up and down like a roller coaster.
