Air conditioning ranks right up there with toilet paper as one of the greatest inventions ever.


Mine has been out for 4 days

Beds were the beginning of making everybody into candy asses. I have a bed, but I don't sleep on it. My truck has mexican airconditioning and a high definition windshield. I live in south texas, AC malfuntion is an emergency maintenance request here, literally.

When the a/c goes out it is serious business.  It is a necessity of life.  Last year my 15 year old Amana window unit smoked it's last one about the beginning of summer, and I bought a Carrier window unit to replace it.  This will be its first test to see how it does.  So far, so good.

not to hijack but...

the rest of the story was it was working fine until she had a very minor accident - under $1000 in body/bumper - but the adjuster could not see how the accident broke the evaporator so the insurance did not pay - I did ...

but the accident was severe enough for two of the other occupants of the other auto to sue for medical damages though they were laughing and jumping around at the scene ... thus is life... SSDD

You guys in south texas have the same problem we do in north texas, humidity.  The guys in west texas can open a window, turn on a fan and be just fine.  Kinda tough to do that when the temperature humidity index is pushing 115

regarding a/c.  we have two systems at home one for the bedrooms and one for the common areas, both are 3-1/2 tons units.  when we purchased and remodelled we replaced the common area unit but the bedrooms unit was left as it was.  we also purchased an appliance insurance policy with american home shield.  about one year ago the older unit finally died and we called ahs for repair/replacement.  it took them about 6 months to finally deny paying the claim (not surprisingly) because in their opinion the unit was improperly serviced.  in the interim we discovered that a/c is highly over-rated.  at about that time (when we had finally become re-acclimated to my beloved humid hot Florida)  we replaced the other unit at a cost $2700.00  now I'm freezing my arse off so we use it sparingly where we used to use it 24/7/365.  but it is nice on the particularly hot days.

now about toilet paper,  what would be the alternative?  :D

Pine cones are natures toilet brush.  Not only can you scrape to your hearts delight but you can dig for the elusive chunks!
