So home selling follies. The last update is here and you may remember my realtor told buyer's realtor to turn the water on to washer for best results.
Well, after a thermostat was replaced, the furnace was operational and their inspector came out to inspect it. The A/C didn't work (the compressor did not come on). So I called my HVAC person to come out this morning to fix the A/C. There is a trip charge for $78 and then whatever cost for repair. I told the HVAC company that I wanted to be called before they did a major repair.
I got a call about 1 hour after the appointment window from the owner of the HVAC company. He said my realtor met the HVAC person at the house, and the repair person turned on the A/C and it came on. Apparently, the A/C has a 3-4 minute built in delay and the inspector did not wait for that.
In other words, I had a repair company come out for NO FUCKING REASON.
HVAC company owner said repair person wrote this up on the receipt and handed it to my realtor.
My email to realtor (in part):
...I was charged $78 for a visit for the HVAC repair - a visit that was not necessary due to the incompetence of the inspector (first the washer now this).
Am I just out the $78?
His reply:
No. We are going to get buyer or agent to pay.
His assistant:
As soon as the [my realtor] gets back to the office I will contact [buyer's realtor] and request he or inspector reimburse you for this expense. This is ridiculous. I want to make sure I know who the inspector is so that we never allow him to inspect our properties.
Wow, that inspector is some kind of joker.
t whine alert
My plan for this morning had been to leave for work a little early, so that I could stop at the store and get cold medicine since of course I got a vacation cold, and I have no cold medicine in the house, and I really do have to go to work today, since it's my first day back from vacation, but then my car wouldn't start, and AAA couldn't get it started, so now I am waiting for the tow truck, and if this costs me as much as I think it might to get my car started again, I may not be able to go to Chicago after all, plus I still need cold medicine, and I have no idea how I am going to get any.
I don't think I am closing that tag today.
2nd Circuit Court strikes down DOMA.
It's a $100 repair, max. That's the ~ma I'm sending.
WOOHOO!!! WHOOT! WHOOT!
Die DOMA Die!
msbelle said it better than I could.
msbelle, return insent. Oh, although you should know I'll be gone during much of November, if it matters.
Die DOMA Die!
I may not be able to go to Chicago after all, plus I still need cold medicine, and I have no idea how I am going to get any.
NOOOOO. On both things.
In our copier room first aid kits they have things like aspirin and cold medicine - maybe there's something like that you haven't noticed? Unless you need the hardcore pharmacy stuff. But I hope you get relief.
Ooh. Go court go!
Do people normally (I guess I should say--practically, or ideally) vote on all the propositions?
See, this is where I don't get undecided voters. I feel like at this point, if you're going to vote, you know go you're voting for. And if you don't, are you really going to vote? Generally if I'm undecided on a proposition or race, I just don't complete that part. I mean, that's not usually very many, but.
