I haven't done much shopping lately so I haven't had much to post about. I did have an eventful evening though. It was about 88 degrees here today with a very high humidity. Around dinner time I realized that the AC had stopped working. Ugh. Fortunately I had a window AC in to assist my aging central air so there was a little relief from the heat.
Last time I called someone out for the AC it cost about $130 and took 2 days to get anyone here. I don't really have the money to spend on it right now. Also, last time, it turned out the breaker in the condenser unit had popped, so all that really needed to be done was to clean the unit and reset the breaker.
This time around I decided to take matters into my own hands. I disassembled the AC unit, and found it was clogged with dog hair and dirt. I cleaned it pretty thoroughly, and fed about 1000 mosquitos in the process. I put it back together, reset the breaker and the unit started right up again. The whole ordeal took about 2 hours, and I'm feeling pretty proud of myself for fixing it on my own.
A tiny bit of know-how can go a long way towards keeping your hard-earned money in your own pocket!
