Okay, so yesterday our air conditioning stopped working and the service man came out today to fix it. Thinking everything would be okay and that 1 day without it wouldn't kill us. Well...the compressor broke!!! What the! A brand new unit and it's broken?? And because we live in little old Farmington, they have to order one from Albuquerque and can't install it until late afternoon on Friday!!! Yikes! It's reached 84 degrees so far even with all the windows open. It's funny because it is hotter at night, the house doesn't cool down until early, early morning. then it starts heating up again throughout the day. It doesn't hit 80 until 5:00 pm and stays in the 80's until morning! Ugh! I don't know how all our ancestors did it! Then again they didn't have really good insulation either. another day and a half to go and it is miserable. I don't want to cook anything that requires a stove becuase it just makes it hotter. Plus our back windows don't have any window treatments yet, so the sun just shines right on in! 1It is just one problem after the other. We have had a mold problem in our crawl space and we are still waiting to hear how bad it is and what kind it is. Then we have to get it cleaned up and have it in remission for at least a month to make sure it doesn't come back before we buy the house officially! The list just goes on. I can't wait until it is all over and we can be problem free at leat for a little while! Geesh. I never heard of so many problems with a brand new house.

That's got to be really frustrating. I hope everything gets settled with your house soon. Delia is so cute! I can't believe how grown up she looks. It looks like she had a great first birthday.
How horrible! No A/C might just be the worst thing that could happen in the house! Mold? Seems like you have your hands full.
New houses can be a lot of work and sometimes take some fine tuning. It took over 10 tries from our builder before our "new" A/C was working. They said it had something to do with the construction being completed in the winter months, so they can't test it until the temperatures rise. Good luck getting yours to work, I feel your pain.
Welcome to Farmington! The place where new homes don't seem so new! We bought our house brand new last year, and the roof leaked all winter long! They had to come and pretty much re-do the entire thing! But are you liking it here other than the house issue? We are sure going to miss a lot of things here when we move.
I'm sooo sorry! That sucks! How wierd is it that ours went out on Thursday! Fortunately they got ours working again within 24 hours, but I thought I was going to die! Poor little Ian was beat red and you know how he has his sensitive skin, so he was starting to break out into a rash everywhere! And thankfully it's been cooler here with the tropical storm and all. Anyways, today's friday, so hopefully you are sitting in a cool air-conditioned home and loving it! We love you all! Give that little Delia a great big kiss from Aunt Amy!
I feel ya! Our air conditioning is brand new and has broken three times in the two months we have lived here! Maybe it's a new house thing? It took a few days to fix and we were MISERABLE!
Oh! I am so sorry! I am a big baby without air conditioning-hopefully by now things are better! And I love your new header & background. Do you design them yourself?
how frustrating! they just don't make houses like they used to. this is our 3rd 'brand new house' and they are all the same... look nice, but are made cheaply. i guess that's part of life, right?
