Sunday evening my unwelcome friend Mr. Murphy, who likes to keep me on my toes for his own personal enjoyment, decided to take out both of the AC (window) units in my house. One by way of a dead thermostat and the second by putting the kibosh on it's compressor. So today i took just enough time off from work to pick up a Sears Kenmore 75121 12K BTU unit.
My next door neighbor was ready to help me with the install but thoughtful Mr. Murphy wasn't quite through as the new unit which is destined for my bedroom is built for 115 Amps; the current (no pun intended
) outlet is wired for 220. The electrician is scheduled to drop by tomorrow mid-morning to make the change at both the outlet and circuit box. A second night of living like the pioneers cooling by box fans. Insert melting smileys here.......................
92 degrees in the kithchen right now, likewise in my bedroom....................
On the positive side i've discovered a new way of dieting - kick the heater on during summer and kiss all that water weight goodbye
