I don’t usually labor on my home a/c unit, however I was a little short on money.
I had been putting in tons of extra hours at labor to help with what my wife Kim used to be making, but after having the baby, Kim decided she wasn’t going back to work.
Kim and I had no one to babysit, & the baby had to be at least six months old before any nannies would take her in, and the cost was almost as much as Kim would make if she had to labor only the hours the local nanny would take care of the baby. I am now working somewhere from sixty to seventy hours every week, & I am dead tired. I am cutting back on expenses by doing the smaller chores on my own. One of these chores I took on is cleaning the a/c unit. The local Heating, Ventilation, & A/C company had a do-it-yourself section on their website, & it offers step-by-step instructions on how to do the service. I had the air filter in hand, ready to change it, & I woke up with the filter still in my hand, & I was laying on the ground. Kim hadn’t called me in, & said she thought I was napping on the lounge chair. I had been sleeping with the air filter in hand, while doing repair on the a/c, & Kim thought I was okay. I learned one important lesson from this whole thing, & it wasn’t that Kim didn’t care as much for me as I thought she did! You don’t labor all night long & go outdoors in the heat of the sunshine to labor on the a/c unit.
