It's been a long week-end, don't ask me anything.

It started Friday, I was getting ready to leave town to attend my nephew's College graduation. My 83 year old mother who lives with me (she was not going out of town with me) informed me that the furnace wouldn't shut off. I shut the thermostat off, but the furnace sounded like it wanted to shut off, but it recycled itself to keep running. Being the good daughter, I was not leaving until I figured out what was happening.

I went to the furnace room (located on my porch) and found it filled with water, water coming down the walls, and water on the furnace and A/C unit. Living in a condo, I called maintenance who immediately responded. They investigated and found that the people living 2 floors above me, had their A/C service and the Tech flushed out the system, which came down the stack of furnace rooms.

I left for the graduation (wherein I drank a hell of a lot at the party, held in the bar where my nephew had employment as a bouncer). I returned home last night and dealt with the furnance. I had a Tech out today who red-tagged my furnace and A/C. I called my home owners insurance, because I figured they could deal with the couple that caused this problem. All my insurance company wants is a copy of an estimate for a new furnace and A/C unit and they will go after the owners two floors above.

I am tired now, and am going to take a nap before dinner. it's cold, so I'm wearing a heavy sweater as is my mom, I had to break out a second comforter last night
