Check your warranty cards Kathy. What do ya wanna bet most, if not all of them, expired about 2 months before things started breaking down? Isn't that the way it always goes??

You do have my sympathies though. DH and I went through something similar about 3 years after rebuilding our home in Olympia following the 1996 floods. Just as we were trying to put the house on the market, everything started to crap out!

They don't make stuff like they used to..........we replaced the water heater in my cute little OLD house last year. The one we replaced? From the 80's! And still worked just fine.

We had the same things happen. Main level of house AC compressor went (approx $2500 to repair). We asked the original HVAC company to talk to the manufacturer for us, which they did. HVAC manufacturer agreed to covered the part, all we paid was labor (like $350...which was enough)...might call your builder and get him involved to help

I will do that! Thank you!

Well, call me a suspicious old woman, but they DON'T make things like they used to, and I an half convinced they do it on purpose. Gotta keep making money, ya know!

Just got home from the chiropractor- am gonna run up and check on Henrietta and stuff muffins down the babies. Check back in a few. . . .

Henrietta has fallen over on her side, is breathing very heavily, her eyes are shut and she is not moving when I talk to her- just her eyes under her lids, which makes me thing she can here me, so I am staying up there with her till I absolutely have to do something else, like make DH supper- please pray she goes now, in peace.

Aw, sweetie, I'm so sorry. I've presided over too many sweet hens' deaths lately. Peace and rest to your girl, and soon.

Dang it Beth I am so so sorry. Stay with her as long as you want...a family can fend for themselves for one night.

I am so so sorry but at least you are with her....why not bring her up to the house and give her a nice comfy box with a towel in it so you can be with her?

 

[Serrin]

Oh Beth!

You know I'm there with you in spirit dear lady. Just hold her and tell her you love her. Tell her you will certainly miss her, but that it's OK for her to go. You just want her to be happy and free from the pain.

Poor little Henrietta. And I agree with what Cetawin said. Take her up to the house with you. A little bit of air conditioning would probably go a long way to making her passing more comfortable. Prayers are being said even now for a quick and peaceful passing for your sweet little friend.

Thanks, my dear friends, I thought about the house, but the house would be alien to her. She never did like handling- didn't want any petting or picking up. In the horse barn she can, IF she can, hear the horses, her buddies, smell the hay and have "her" fan blowing gently on her. She is on a white towel - I should have gotten a colored one, it looks too much like a shroud or casket lining, golly dang, there are some days when I just don't think.
I am back in to get some water, check in here and go back out- actually we only have window fans in the house, no ac, so it's just as nice out there as it is in here.
thank you , thank you, for thinking of us!
