Household Repair Bookmark

Hi, Splotchy in the future.

In case you were wondering when exactly did the furnace stop working, it was Tuesday morning, March 12th, 2008.

You remember, when you and your entire family had that horrible cold. Yeah, that's when.

MizSplotchy called to have it repaired later Tuesday morning, but the technician indicated after checking around that one of the parts needed wasn't in the state of Illinois. Yes, the entire state of Illinois did not have the replacement part.

So they had the part sent overnight via UPS from Des Moines, Iowa.

Splotchy in the future, if you are considering replacing your furnace, you might want to get one that has replacement parts in the state of Illinois.

You're welcome, and I hope you are over this cold.

Best Regards,


Splotchy from the past (cough)

Blogging and the Wet Vac

This post comes to you courtesy of the fact that I am waiting for seepage to stop in my basement. Wet vac, take a break, wet vac, take a break.

I have learned a few things with this experience.

1. If you can you avoid it, don't have living space in your basement.
2. If you're buying a house from some shady Eastern Europeans, make sure it's not during a drought.
3. They moved the cemetery but they didn't move the bodies! THEY ONLY MOVED THE HEADSTONES!!!
