well i just need to come clean and get it off my chest....
I am currently renting a unique old historic house in the town i live in...the housing market is still quite a mess and the idea of buying in this town ... just drives my nutz... for the long term...
So we rent.... thru a management company that represents a out of town land lord.....the property is smack in the middle of town...
w/ VERY well established and private back yard w/ very mature and dense landscaping....So I grow on site both inside and outside....
being on the west coast this is really not a big deal as is I'm Medical and legal to boot w/ plant count and paperwork....
So not "really" a worry.....
Hears where it gets ugly..... on Sunday the A/C Furnace BLEWUP...litterlly scorched a burnt hole thru the furnace motherboard.... WHY u ask did this happen.....
because some knucklehead took aluminum duct strap....
pinched the metal band into the back receptical of the electrical panel and then wrapped this strap around 2 double pole 30 amp breakers..... thus forcing the A/ C and furnace to run in overload for @ least the last year since we have been hear.....or even longer... the managment company has had the place for 4 years or so.... and NEVER checked this shit..... making them a worthless penny pinching middlemen that only collects the rent and replaces broken shit....ZERO preventive maintenance or follow thru........but that is whole other story....
already had 2 licensed electrical guys out.... the entire panel is screwed and fried... must be replaced...
the furnace is fried... must be replaced by A/ C tech...
the whole area also included the 100gal hot water tank which know must be moved out to access removal of the furnace and its replacement.....
besides the roof top pole mount that must be reconfigured off the main feed from the electrical pole.... meaning... the dam power company has to come out also....
all this shit has taken all week to even acknowledge the concerned parties responsibilities in these drastic safety concerns....
THE LANDLORD AND MANAGMENT COMPANY ARE very LIABLE FOR ALL THIS NEGLIGENCE....
in the mean time I'm still living hear ... w/ my 1 yr old daughter...
AND plants.... i got 4 BIG trees 4ft wife by 6 ft tall...
in movable 30gal bins on casters.... so i have to keep shuffling my plants around all day and night to avoid them being noticed by repair guys....luckily i have areas in the home AND WORK SHOP THAT THEY WILL NOT NEED TO ACCESS.....
and the home behind me is vacant ... So i put all my seedlings and fall/winter startup clones... over there out of sight and mind....
where my frustration stems from is the reality of the cost for these repairs......the MINIMUM is going to be 10k....
but the turn around and time frame on this work will not be quick.... it never is....
So it's 92 degree's today... no A/C... SAd 1yr old who cutting teeth and being pissy over breast feeding.... mom @ work for 12 hrs a day.... and I'm waiting on call backs for acceptance of the bids to start all this work....
meaning NO A/C all this week..... and probably NO A/ C or electric for a few days next week......
FUCK this.....
every door and window open in house.... only attracts insects and fly's....I HATE FLY'S......
So WHAT would U DO..... kill off plants.... and go to hotel for 2wks....
SUCK IT up and deal....
the question is do i call a lawyer and get pissy legal....
or do I call the local TV and get all safety awareness.... suffering family being taken advantage of in the public eye and start a smear campaign for the people responsible....
what would U DO.........??????????????
