So our heater issue is still going strong, and I've got to keep a record of it. It's just too good to forget. Here's the basic run-down minus a few juicy details we didn't want to put on the blog. Again, it's not as good as sewage flooding our apartment, but it's something to talk about.
Day 1- heater man decided we needed a new furnace and planned to come Thursday.
Day 2- called 5 hours after he was supposed to come and explained he couldn't come because he had to mediate a fight between his parents. heater man isn't young.
Day 3- furnace was "damaged in transit" and no more were available...must wait for another shipment
Day 4- shipment was late
Day 5- shipment was late again
Day 6- came over late because of family issues--couldn't finish because he couldn't remove our old furnace
Day 7- came over 4 hours late when James was at class and he forgot about our arrangement of leaving the key under the mat (no call when he couldn't get in)
Day 8- came over late again because of family issues and sat in his truck for 3 hours in our parking lot (it was raining)
Day 9- called several hours late to explain that he couldn't come because the furnace got wet in the rain (see Day 8), and it needed to dry out
Day 10- funeral
Day 11- started working in the afternoon but was unable to remove old furnace again. left the furnace and dolly in our front room.
Day 12- 6:20 am phone call that he had diarrhea. went to the doctor.
Day 13- strep throat
Day 14- tomorrow--our last hope
So far it's been 19 days. Who knows how many more? We don't mean to be insensitive to heater man's personal life, but we're just amazed by the plethora of excuses. We feel like we know too much about our heater man, and we're pretty sure we're being Punk'd. The only thing that doesn't add up is that we're not celebrities.
Oh well. Soon enough we'll have our heat again, and we'll be sooo grateful for it!

Are you kidding me??? Diarrhea!!!!! I think it is time to get a new heater man!! Seriously!
Ok, that is hilarious!! What kind of fights could a probably 70+ parents have anyway?? LOVE that he told you he had diarrhea! Oh and then strep throat.
I C-A-N-N-O-T believe it. I mean, HELLO it's not like it's winter outside! He just doesn't care because he actually has a heater to go home to. Oh heater man, what are we going to do with you?
WOW, that's all I can say . . . And I think your heater guy must be bff's with our landlord! It's time to tear the heater man a "new one," if you catch me after cleaning up another flood in the basement here (which is almost a daily occurrence!) I'd be happy to do it for you!
