    I hear ya about the getting old thing. Sometimes I wish I had enough money to call someone to fix everything. And why is it that A/Cs don't break on a 75° day with 35% humidity?

    For me it would be because I don't have the AC turned on during that kind of weather :whistle:

    This is the kind of incompetence you get from from some kinds of contractors. I see this CRAP on a daily basis! A contractor took of advantage of a homeowner who knew no better and sold them a new compressor on a 28 year old AC unit. Then they put a disconnect on the unit and never even tightened the line voltage set screws up and this thing was running this way! I literally want to cuss some of the local guys out for this level of incompetence and taking advantage of people.

    I'm laying in my recliner recovering. I fell off the third rung of a six foot ladder and landed on my face and elbows. I can still see that dirt barn floor coming towards my face as I fell. My poor wife watched the whole thing. I have a bruised noise, a cut on my chin and my left elbow isn't working like it should. Ibuprofen seems to help a lot. :pain:

    I have a good idea how you feel as I did a similar performance about 5 years ago.................Ladder work can be scary at times for sure.

    I hate ladder work for that very reason. In a sense a dirt floor impact is better than one on concrete. Hope you feel better and heal up quickly.
