It's fixed! Well, almost . . .


Since we got back from AZ, things have been a bit of a mess around here. We got home late Saturday night, and our heater was on. Hmm, I knew I had turned it off before we walked out the door the previous Saturday. I went to the thermostat, and the heater was off. However, the blower was still blowing away. How does that happen?! We spent the next two nights in a cold apartment. Poor Snugs was a bit chilly. On Monday morning, Hubby called the maintenance crew. They came over to fix the heater, and while they were at it, decided to take a look at the dishwasher and the towel rack in our bathroom. They couldn't get anything fixed by Monday night. After the maintenance guys left, I jammed the disposal full of sweet potato peelings. Lesson learned: never jam four potatoes worth of peelings down the disposal and expect it to make it. After Snugs went to bed, we spent some time unsticking the stuck. One job down for the day, and we did it ourselves! Neither Hubby or I claim to be good at fixing things. The maintenance guys came over early this morning to keep working on the furnace and dishwasher. Five hours and two trips to the hardware store later, the heater is working again, and the towel rack is fixed. Hooray! However, the dishwasher has been removed from the premises. Hopefully, it will return shortly. Trying to keep Snugs out of the way is a bit challenging when all she wants to do is see what is going on. She made friends with the maintenance guys though and would wave at them every time they passed by her. What a cutie!

Stopping by from SITS. Congrats on getting the disposal fixed. My husband is an electrician, and for some reason I think he has the ability to fix things (what was I thinking), but it never happens!
