Yeah, after talking with people on the phone about my ordeal( more about the rest in a minute). I had 5 people out cleaning their tanks & couldnt believe what was in there. My sister is getting hers done tomorrow.I sent the pics to the people also, that pretty much did it.
I'm telling you. It is not a fun or clean job. It can get very very messy.
Anyway..today. Had the windows open, because of the nice cool brease. Had the AC turned off. Well about 6:30 went to turn it back on.....TIONK, TINK, TINK, TINK. The motor was hitting somethign making a god awful noise...great..time to crawl up in the attic & see whats wrong. Somehow, I dunno how, the ENTIRE cooling unit got turned a bit, enough to tweak it & mess up the motor. Well, I had to take the entire thing apart to get the motor out & straightened back out. THEN the rubber hose for the water drain( just like the drain for a car) broke...f'en great!!! now I have water running out of it( from what was left in it& the overflow pan, apparently it was also partially stopped up) screaming at my wife to throw up towels. It soaks the insulation, drips through the ceiling, so now i have a soaked POPCORN ceiling & carpet. I had to run to Autozone & pick up some 3/4" heater hose..They gave it to me for free, after seeing what I looked like( DEATH!!!). Got back to the house & put it on. Now all is right. I just need to replace about a 2ft section of ceiling & either sand down the entire ceiling( about 1200sqft) or respray what is messed up & repaint it.
That i'm leaving for when I get back from my trip.
I dont care, if anything else happens. The dog is going to the kennel for babysitting, i'm killing the power to the house & leaving..LOL.
