So the maintenance guy came out early yesterday morning. He had to come out first before being able to call out the service people. I’m glad for that though–he came in and let me know that we needed to run out and grab a new filter because if the service people felt like we hadn’t changed the filter recently enough, our landlord could try to charge us for the service.
So he put in a service call and exaggerated any problems we were having so that they’d be more thorough when they came out. I liked this guy
Unfortunately this was 8am and Eubanks was set to come sometime before 12 and the maintenance guy warned me that if they wanted to, they could be assholes about it and leave if no one answered the door immediately, so I settled in on the couch, but of course they came to work on the lawn so mowers and blowers kept me from getting any sleep.
The Eubanks guy showed up at 11:40 *eyeroll* I know for sure he drained the unit and added more freon. He was around for a little while so best I can tell he checked the a/c compressor, made sure the unit didn’t need to be recharged or anything like that and checked our vents downstairs. He wasn’t very vocal with me about what he’d done. I guess I can somewhat understand since really he didn’t have to answer to me, technically the landlord is the one he’s speaking to about the property, but last I checked Don’s never even been in this apartment and I’m the one who lives here so it would’ve been nice to know what all had already been checked so that if other problems arise, we can rule things out. Oh well.
So it appears the leaking has stopped, so now I just need to check into some really good mold cleaners to stop the growth. I’m not totally sure what all I need to do, so I’m gonna start with checking out what kind of industrial cleaners we have at Lowe’s and definitely picking up some masks….it’s gonna be completely killer to clean dust, cat fir/dander and mold in a small, confined place. I’m determined to get it in one go though; I know I won’t be able to stand more than one session.
I’ve got 3 days off in a row next week, so I think I’ll attack it on the first day so I can have two days to recover.
