Bare Bones Living!

Well, Murphy popped his head into my house yesterday.  My A/C’s drip pan was FULL of water and the floater sensor did not work and did not shut the unit off.

I was going to wait until Monday but when the temps are over 90 that’s really not an option.  So, I contacted the company, Shumate Mechanical, and set up the appointment.  I had used them before and they have a good rating on Angie’s List. 

Within 2 hours the technician arrived.  He worked and worked and worked. About 3 hours later it was done. Here’s the bill.  $224 is for an annual maintenance contract and he never charged me for replacing the P Trap (incorrectly installed with original installation). 

Murphy only stayed for a minute.  I have an emergency fund and I wrote a check for the bill.  I will replenish the emergency fund this month.  It will only slow me down by $440 in my debt snowball.  It’s OK and I did NOT use a credit card!

Whoo Hoo and thank goodness for Emergency Funds.
