So transitioning back to the “real world” post-vacation hasn’t been too bad in terms of workstuff, back to homeownership however is a different story. Although as we were driving back to Williamsburg I got a text message from Jim, who was watching the cats and the house while I was gone, to call him when I got near Williamsburg. I think “odd, but ok” and call him when I’m about 15 minutes away and he tells me that three things have gone wrong with the house while I was away, the light in the master bath won’t turn on (suspected a loose wire in the switch), the air conditioning on the 2nd and 3rd floors isn’t working (and it was crazy hot when we got back, ick), and to top it off the master bath toilet sprung a leak which caused water damage to the ceiling downstairs (he had to drill holes in the ceiling and drained about a gallon of water out), a lovely set of problems to come back to 😛
As of this morning the AC has been fixed (was low on coolant, according to the repairman it is a common problem in this neighborhood, the builders never fully charged the AC units to begin with) and the plumbing and electrical issues are tentatively scheduled to be fixed, with friends-as-contractors, this weekend, so hopefully things should all be in working order next week.
