Okay, I need the opinion of my fellow DB friends..

I have had recent issues with our A/C unit (probably like everyone else with this heatwave). I have spent nearly a $1000 having the HVAC folks some into fix my upstairs and downstairs units. Well, the issue is that I may need to replace it. With this know, I email me H the specifics.

The HVAC folks told me at the last visit (wihich was the 4th in 3 weeks), that I may need to replace both the upstairs and downstairs units. The approximate cost for this would be $5000K. So I asked my H what we should do.


He told me "Well, I'd say that you absolutely need air in the bedroom so you can sleep.

You can ask the guy if you simply need to wait out the heatwave for the downstairs unit to work. At least be sure that you discuss with him the option of doing nothing and waiting.

Let me know how much money you need or if you need me to pay for iit directly, when all's said and done. That's my job."

So I asked about what he meant by it is his job? He responded: "Our house - and fixing stuff is in my job - and paying for big stuff is in my job.....? My job is to take care of you and the house - particularly financially, right??"

He has not said this too me in months! I know you are going to tell me not to read into it and you are right. What is going on with him. He even sent me a message out of the blue today at work asking about how I was doing. Strange...
