The Waiting Game Again

I can't believe it, here I am playing the waiting game again. This time, I am waiting for the furnace guy to come and fit it. Suddenly I am having some trouble with it. And it is only 2 years old. I am not a happy camper these days as last week I had computer problems plus a cold. Also, found out that my central vac motor is not working. Not only do I play the waiting game, but it is heavy on the wallet. I hope that I don't have another waiting game waiting for me down the road.

I am sorry you have problems. The furnace guy will come here on Monday, but it is for the official annual check for the authorities.

@LadyDuck Nothing serious, but the fee for the visit alone is pretty high.

@mom210, I was more patient when I was younger, now that time is so precious, I don't want to waste it waiting for people.

Sounds like a lot of problems at once. Seens that's always how it is! The furnace probably just needs a cleaning or nozzles changed.

It's always something when you own a home. Hopefully you won't be waiting long and nothing else takes a toll on your wallet

Ah...the joys of home ownership. Fixing one thing after another. Why, again, do they say that owning a home is the American dream? LOL
