When I thought the AC was something simple I was willing to drop a couple of bucks to get it fixed immediately. I called a local contractor and they came out that day. Dude replaced a $200 part and the AC still didn't blow cold. He guessed it was probably the compressor, but told me that we were about to enter financial deep waters.

I told him I had a home warranty and I'd let them handle it. He wished me luck and did me the solid of hooking everything back up like he found it.

That was two weeks ago! Two weeks of sleeping in tropical heat like the opening scene of Apocalypse Now. Thank goodness for a co-worker who let us borrow a portable AC this week.

Hopefully, we'll be back and running tomorrow, cuz more GA heat is coming...
