How do you do a search for members? I know how you did it on the old BYC but can't figure it out on the new platform. I have a friend (actually an old classmate of DHs) that I think may be a member on here but don't know how to try to look her up.

if that does not help you may have a freon leak or a mechanical problem with your unit. 

 

lol My dh is a HVAC tech and I have done service calls with and for him.

 

NH, I just went through the same thing! Got someone out here from AireServ turned out it was dirty, had a leak and NO freon in the system at all! The leak is small, but the coil replacement is like $1500. So we're going to let the system run until the freon is done for and then get a new unit. But amazing how I thought it was dead and it was temporarily repairable to get me awhile. At first, we didn't think there was any leak (so tiny) so the cleaning alone made a huge difference! So definitely do all that stuff!!!

My Minorca just growled at me, it was like nothing I have ever heard, she also gave me the stinckiest stink eye EVER - wish I had had my camera out there. I have never been growled at by a chicken before, I had to look around, I thought a half cat half dog mutant thing was under the coop, then I realized she was tucked in there GLARING at me, she popped up a bit and she was sitting on today's eggs (3) that were in that nest. I am fixing up a small coop for her anyway as Big Papa has tore all of her back feathers off, she needs a vaycay from him, LOL. When I move her since I suspect that even though my book on breeds says that Minorcas seldom go broody, that growling says she is, do I move her into the new coop alone? And how many eggs should I give her?

Hatched 26 out of 32. wee.gif 5 or 6 were Black sex links, and all but one look like girls... th.gif   I better go play the lottery, those odds never work in favor for me!

  Maybe I should try what the chickens do...just dust bathe outside.  Has anyone tried it??  LOL  lau.gif

 

Have a great day all...stay cool if you can.  Company leaves today!!  It's bittersweet as it was a really nice visit, but it will be so nice to get back into our normal routine!!

 

On a side note: left the outlet mall with only buying an extra bread loaf pan!!  WOOT!!

I hope you were able to stay cool today!!  We had a similar problem last year with our AC.  The guy cleaned the unit inside and out and had to replace a piece on it, cost about $130 for the part and labor.  I can get his phone number for you if you want. 

 

 

Glad you had a nice visit with your family!

Sure!!  I'd love any referral you'd care to send our way!!  The kiddos ran around the house "naked" and well...I was as inactive as possible sitting under a fan...lol.  DH said, "Did anyone ever tell you NC is HOT?"  LOL.  Guess it's just a taste of what is to come....how did our grandparents ever LIVE without AC??  LOL  Thanks again!!

Too hot to do anything today.  Someday I hope to have AC, but I doupt that will ever happen.  The AC in my truck doesn't work either(no freon), so my errands to town was no relief.
