111° and no freaking air

[Catshrink]

the A/C guy was by and said the condenser was iced up. I'm supposed to have just the fan on for two hours, then try turning it to cool and restarting it. He'll be by in the morning to check the freon levels.

I'm sweatin'! This is Phoenix at its worst! ZW if I could drive I'd be on the road to Flag.

1. Come on down to Huntsville, Alabama and jump in my pool

Feels Great!

[Catshrink]

6. I'm in the transporter now!

Beam me to 'bama, Scottie!

[Avalux]

I've had to do that before -

Is it possible to stay in a hotel or motel for the night? I live in South Texas and no AC is one of the worst things that can happen. It doesn't always work after it thaws. Good luck. :hi:

[Ilsa]

9. Me too.

How far south are you? I'm along the coast.

It was a little cooler early this morning, probably in the low seventies. With fan blowing hard, I can even get a little chilled in my pj's.

[Avalux]

16. I'm in San Antonio

no way I can get chilly here - all my poor grass and flowers are dying because it's so hot and no rain since I can't remember when. :hi:

[Catshrink]

10. I'll see how it is when I switch it back...

if it's still hot, I may sleep on my neighbor's sofa.

2. can you build a makeshit swamp cooler with a fan and some wet towels

or something? :shrug:


that is some hot heat




edit for spelling

[Catshrink]

8. That's what I'm doing...

GMTA, eh? I turned the doggie discipline squirt bottle into a mister for me. It's helping.

[tk2kewl]

17. GMTA?

:shrug:

[Catshrink]

18. GMTA = great minds think alike

another thing I learned on DU.

[tk2kewl]

19. ah... gotcha

;)

3. I live here too and that is crap. They can melt the ice and fix it on

the spot. I had the same repair three times before I isolated the leak that caused it -- first one did that crap you are experiencing, the other two did it right. It takes them about a half hour of extra work to melt the ice away by turning on the heater and using a torch.

You were stuck w/ a lazy one who doesn't care that you're going to roast.

4. Also, just go to a hotel. It's worth the $$$$. nt

[Catshrink]

11. Could be...

he's not my usual guy. The usual guy is on vacation. I'm glad he came tonight so at least I feel like I'm getting somewhere.

5. Oh my, Catshrink!

I don't like hearing of you suffer like this, so soon after surgery too. :-(

My A/C is here for you if you could make it. :hug:

[Catshrink]

13. Thanks, Sweetie.

I love you for your Zomby Coffee and A/C.

7. I feel for you...

it was a couple of degrees cooler down here south of Tucson today but I still wouldn't have wanted to be without a/c. Fortunately, I was at work for most of the day where the a/c works just fine.

[Catshrink]

12. Yeah, it's just nasty.

We're supposed to have a thunderstorm tonight that will cool it off a little. But the humidity won't help!

[tyedyeto]

15. There are dark clouds and high winds now but

no sign of thunder or lightning yet.

Cold, wet towels can help.

[AntiCoup2K4]

14. I'm sure missing the AZ desert with all the damn rain up here in WA.

But you are correct that A/C is definitely a must at that temperature.

You would think 110 would be hot enough to melt the ice from the outside.
