Busy Weekend- Where did the time go?
Missy has been staying with us since last weekend because the breaker keeps popping the air conditioner off. The "plan" was to go over yesterday (Sat) and check the breakers, replace if needed, and buy and install a new dishwasher. The dishwasher at the condo hasn't worked now for quite some time. Friday, Phil called me to say that he had to work for awhile on Saturday, so we altered the plans.
New plan was to have me go to Lowes to buy the new dishwasher and for Mike to meet Missy and I over there so that he could help us carry it upstairs. Turns out that they are pretty darn light weight and Mike carried it up himself. Now everything was ready for Phil to come by after work to get the job done! It started to get pretty late in the afternoon, and Phil had been at work, way longer than he thought (11 hrs) so I could see plans changing again!
New plan was for us to get up early this morning- Phil's birthday- and start the work over there. After some errands, we ended up over at the condo. The dishwasher did get installed, but it turns out that the breakers are so old that we will have to go to an electrical supply company. We ran to Lowes and Home Depot- neither of which carried the right ones. There are some arcing burns on the 40amp and 50amp so hopefully replacing them will solve the problem. We brought the "smart" ladder over there for Phil to check out the unit on the roof. Our ladder bends in half and has extension coming out of both ends so it just about reached the top of the second story of the condo! Pretty darn scary! I was leaning over the railing upstairs to keep pressure on the ladder towards the wall as Phil was climbing up. Once he got to the top, the saltillo tiles were so flippin hot that Phil couldn't climb onto the roof. Keep your fingers crossed that the breakers solve the problem.
New plan now is for Phil to pick up breakers on the way home from work tomorrow and to have Mike meet him over there.
We didn't get back home until almost the dinner hour. Mike and Missy met us over here about 6:00pm and I ordered pizza and wings for Phil's birthday dinner. Yesterday while I was out, I picked up a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Ice Cream cake from Dairy Queen for Phil's birthday dessert.
Where did the weekend go!!!!! Happy "56th" Birthday Phil!
