I used very similar words as I explained the problems to my best friend.
Better now than in winter when opening the doors to do the repairs could give our house birds a unfortunate chill.
I think everything (except the AC) will be repaired or replaced sometime soon.
Thanks for your positive thoughts, hermetic.

Furnace started screaming. Shut the breaker (this shit is getting old). I'll call the gas company tomorrow. We have a service contract. Maybe this will be a small problem (small repair $$$ bill).

Cold shower time
The hot water heater leaked all over the floor. Needs repair.
Carpet will need to come up due to mold. Wall paneling may need replacing. Flooring didn't 'feel' soft when I tested it with a screwdriver.

Local heat index today 105. I brushed out the dog's fur. She hates being hot.
She is a good companion. I rescued her back in 2010. Let's hope she makes it through this summer.

I'm so upset about what Photobucket is doing. I uploaded very old photos there.
I can't re-scan those 40 year old prints with the equipment I have now.
