Good News and Not So Good News

The past couple of days have been interesting. I posted two days in a row about my concerns about a local power company’s free a/c checkup program, here and here.

The fellows came bright and early this morning. A friend had given my number to them, but I also knew several others who had already done this. Most of them all said the same thing - it takes less than half an hour. I had a 10 am appointment and had to be dressed by 9:30 to leave to get there. They arrived at 8 and said we had plenty of time. It took a whole hour-and-a-half. I had lots of things they had to do, both inside the house and underneath, as well.

The good news is that they got it all done, just in time so I wouldn’t be late. The not-so-good news is that while under the house, they found a pipe that is sprinkling water continuously. This means it’s probably an intake pipe. Anyhow, this will really be interesting, trying to figure out how to fix it. There is no “puddle” on the ground, they said, which means it is a light leak. But it’s got to be fixed before that is no longer true.

If I hadn’t had the checkup done, it could have been undiscovered until it became a major problem. However, now I need to deal with replacing a piece of pipe. I prefer knowing before something is a major issue - and I know I will figure a way to take care of this.

 
Thank you, Father, for the advance warning about the repairs I need to make. And thank you for helping the crew to finish in time so I wouldn’t be late, although calling it so close made me a little rushed driving to the appointment. I am looking forward to seeing how you get this repair done for me.
