The A/C & Sprinklers...;)

Last week, when Nick and I went to Cali/Disneyland for a week, we left the a/c off while we gone. We of course turned it on when we got home, just in time to be greeted by 102 degree weather. :p. Well, after having it back on, running for an evening, we realized the house really didn't feel any cooler, and that though it was blowing, the a/c seemed much weaker then usual. It turns out whatever runs the a/c downstairs (haha i totally forget what it is, and Nick isn't home to ask) is freezing up, and even after we left the a/c off for a day t let it thaw, it still seems to be doing it. So, just in time for the heat wave, our system has decided do crap out on us. lol, it would happen that way too huh? I have seem a few other people post similar things about their a/c on fb recently, so I know I'm not alone. Guess even the a/c is protesting this weather. ;) At least living up in the mountains it starts to cool down fairly quick in the evening if we leave lots of windows open. Hopefully though we get this fixed soon, cause no a/c in summer in definitely no bueno. ;)
  With the sprinklers, it started with a section in the front that wasn't working. Nick figured it was the pipe that went under the drive way that was the problem. Normally that is no problem because they always run it through a larger pipe to make it easy to slide out it anything under there should ever break.  Since we couldn't see a break on either side of the driveway, Nick figured that it was in the middle somewhere. Well, for the life of us we could not get the pipe out on its own, so nick figured at some point while it was being rented, some part of the driveway must have been fixed and when they re- poured the cement, they cracked the pipe and cement got in and sealed it. Nick and his brother tried a few ways to jimmy it out but nothing worked. Unfortunately, in the process it ripped out the electrical and so now non of the sprinklers work. We can turn them on manually one at a time, but they can't be set automatically. Haha...so out house is revolting against us just a little bit right now. ;D Its ok though, nothing to bad, it just would all happen at once. lol
