and the AC was old when we bought the house. I have 6 more house payments and I'm done. I am hoping my luck maintains. In May I thought for sure I was sunk. I was at work and the wife calls and said the AC wasn't cooling the house. Luckily it was just a seized motor for the fan on the outside condenser. It was only $70, but it was after 5 PM and had to wait until the next morning. Luckily, after I got home, it started to rain, so the window unit I took out of the mother in law suite kept things bearable.
