Some things that should be Cold Are Warm and things that should be Warm are Cold!

TopsyTurvyTuesday

Hmmm...First we discover the 4 y/o turned OFF the extra refrigerator. Lost several pounds of chicken, a couple gallons of milk and lots of frozen veggies. Plus all the yogurt and extra dairy we just bought for the month. 

Then we finally decided it was chilly enough to turn on our heater. 

 Hot air is suppose to be coming out of the vents, right? 

I know back in April when we bought the place there was hot air shooting out at me when it was tested. But today, when it is actually just chilly enough for us to want it.... 

Nope. 

Not even a hint of that "Click" sound that heralds heat. I tried dialing up the numbers.

 No joy.

 No heat, either.

And Mr.Snarky is getting worried that Abe Vigoda is going to die because its too cold. So Abe Vigoda gets a light on his tank until we can get a tank heater. 

We make a call to the home repair people and had a fun little guy come out and try to figure out a way to get up on our roof. He was soon Spider-Man-ing his way up only to discover that the problem was internal. 

As in ...inside the house.

(The call is coming from inside the house! Get out now!) 

What we learned was that there is a small connector between the two wires that hook up the thermostat. One is for the air conditioner and one is for the heater. You have to have the connector to jump the wires. 

Or some other technical term Spidey used to describe what was wrong with our box. 

The thermostat box that Mr.Snarky had replaced a few months ago. 

He swears there was no little connector thingy. Or maybe he dropped it. He isn't sure. 

I am sure it cost us 75 bucks for the little connector thingy. Oh and a new thermostat box to replace the messed up one we had. 

Abe Vigoda is fine. 

Just in case you are wondering, Abe is Mr.Snarky's Beta fish. He is very attached to Abe.
