Can I have my house back, please?

Thursday, June 2: Get home from work, A/C is broken. Go spend the night at my parents' house.
Friday morning, June 3: Call home warranty people.
Wednesday, June 8: Service call, couldn't be done over the weekend, lots of people have broken A/Cs. Guy says we need a new outdoor unit.
Thursday, June 9: Service guy tells home warranty poeple we need a new Unit.
Friday, June 10: After looking for a unit locally, warranty people order a unit that has to be shipped.
Wednesday, June 15: Unit "Delivered"
Thursday, June 16: Unit "Received" by AC people
Saturday, June 18: Unit installed (soonest they had time, lots of people have broken A/Cs.) Stayed at my parents' house that night anyway to spend some time with my sister and her family in a place where we could all put the kids to sleep, and stay up and hang out without worrying about the kids sleep being disrupted.
Sunday, June 19: Spent one blessed night at home.
Monday, June 20: Get home from work, A/C is broken. Go to my sister's house and call the home warranty people. They say they'll have a guy out there Tuesday.
Wednesday, noonish, June 22: A/C guy comes and fixes it.
Wednesday, June 22: Get home from work, A/C is broken. It's not that hot in the house, so call Home warranty people from the house. Still too hot to sleep there, though.
Thursday, June 23: New A/C guy comes to look. We need a new motor for the fan in the indoor part of the unit.
Friday, June 24: New A/C guy calls and says they don't have the part in stock, and he can get it shipped to him by Monday (June 27)or Tuesday (June 28).

Thank GOD my parents live in town, and are very understanding.

On the bright side, at least all this crap is happening while your Home Warranty is still in effect, so you aren't having to pay for it. If it was going to go out at some point, now is definitely better than later.

Hope everything clears up soon though. That is a long time to not be able to live in your house.

Kent is definitely right about that. But sill, 22 days so far? That is a very long time for something not to get fixed!

Yes, I COMPLETELY agree. As much as I want to whine and complain, without the warranty it would be just like this, but we'd be paying thousands of dollars for the privilege, and I have no idea where we'd find it. No thanks!
