What Annoyed You Today? (12 Viewers)

[pbfoot]

My "new" furnace we paid 17 grand for is broken. We bought a new central heat and air unit one year and seven days ago and it is not working. We also bought the extended 5 year warranty with it and when we called today to get it fixed they give us "We don't do service calls on Sunday." line. I am so thankful that we don't live in in the Mountains right now becuse I would have had to pay to get it serviced instead of waiting for tomorrow.

Is it Hi efficiency if so keep a warranty on it for as long as you can. Mine has gone through 3 ignitors $50+ each and a blower motor $650 for a lousy fractional HP thing
What I did do however is buy a spare ignitor and its an easy job to change

What kind of furnace?

What kind of furnace?

carrier
I much rather have my old inefficient one , and it seems to sense when its cold to stop performing. Find a heating friend and they should be able to get igniters at about 25% of list , there is a really high mark up on them

 

[Matt308]

Yeah what is it with igniters, my last furnace blew through them.

Crap mine is a carrier too.

What annoyed me today, they didn't show up to fix it.

Didn't make it to the hospital in time before my mum passed away today.....

Went to the hospital this morning at 9:00am for a simple 15 minute procedure. Didn't get released until 5:30 pm. FOR NO GOOD REASON!!

Bl**dy ice and Siberian wind! Went out to get the ice off my car and start her up, as it had been standing for two days frozen solid. Started fine, then came the scream of seized pulleys, followed by smoke from under the hood! Switched off, checked everything - no damage. Waited a while, tried again and she ran fine. So I then took it out for a quick drive around the block, less than half a mile, just to see if everything worked.
The temp gauge certainly did !!
Got back with water over the windscreen and through the grille. Think the water pump has given way, although it might just be a frozen by-pass to the expansion tank.
B*gg*er! Can't afford to fix it until after Christmas, so that's me stuck!

 

[vikingBerserker]

That does blow!

 

[Airframes]

Sure does! A water pump isn't too expensive, but as I can't do my own spanner monkey work these days, due to the arthritis, it means getting it into a garage for someone to do the work, at an average of around £55 per hour, so around £150 or more just in labour!
Plus, my nearest place is around three hundred yard/metres away, as the crow flies, but just short of a mile by road!! That could lead to a seized engine!
B*ll*cks and double b*ll*cks!!

That's a big sh1t T and having seen some of the photograph of your weather, can't say I envy you.

As for me, never thought I'd say this but pis*ing with bl**dy rain again

Being in a foul mood for a couple days now for no particular reason. Have the urge to just pack up and get out in the middle of nowhere with no one around to bother me for several days.

 

[Loiner]

The snow!!!

 

[BikerBabe]

Damn terry, that sucks!
I sure wish I was living not far from you, then I cound do the work and you could tell me how to! I love messing with mech stuff.

My bad things today?
Woke up with a headache that has been lasting all day.
And it's still cold. And now it's snowing. %¤#%#¤%#!!!

 

[Lucky13]

The things that annoyed was the things annoying yous.... Any closer and I'd help guys!

As for me.....not enough snow and not cold enough either! Hmmmmm..... Why is all the people dressed up warm and look weird at me as I walk humming and whistling with a big smile in my face.... This is great, not feeling so homesick now... Hope that you all stay safe and warm!

Lost power at work this morning for about 45 minutes, just as the hope of being sent home early with pay was entering our minds the power came back up;(

 

[Gnomey]

Really beginning to tire of clearing the drive of snow. 20 inches in the garden and was 6 inches on the drive this morning but didn't clear so as to get to the ski centre quicker. Was snowy roads the whole way and the main road still hasn't been cleared, still easy enough to drive on though. When we got back from the slopes the snow was still on the drive so that meant 3 hours of clearing it and then chipping away the ice underneath. Looked out the window just now and it looks like there is 2-3 inches already on the drive have only cleared it 4 hours ago...

Lakes aren't freezing over properly thus far and I want to get out and do some ice fishing!!! Rain and warmer weather earlier in the week didn't help, and the snow on top of the just forming ice doesn't help matters.
Normally I can't stand the cold up here, but there is nothing I can do about it so it may as well get cold enough to freeze the lakes up nice so I can walk on them ( and drive the truck later) and do some fishing!!!
