..this trip has been the perfect reason/ example why we don't want to 'own' real estate any longer..
..have not been to Delray since very early in the year...
..show up now and three things need..'taking-care-of'
..1. the Internet wasn't working..
..as usual, someone else had some ATT wiring work done on their unit
..and that work knocked out our service.. two days wait for the tech to show up & repair
..has happened before... of course, will happen again.
..2. while we were away they did some balcony repair work.. great.. but in doing said repair, they somehow managed to damage one of the rollers on a sliding glass door..
..called to get it repaired.. it's Christmas, so the wait will be at least one to two weeks..
..they will call day before, when someone is available for the next day to come and give an estimate..
..that date does not work.. you go back on the 'list' for the next cycle.. then they need to come again to fix it..
..3. out from nowhere, there's now a slight hum originating from one of the a/c units up on the roof..
..life on the top floor is nice, but has its unique challenges..
..the noise isn't really that much.. just enough though to keep you awake, once you've gotten up to go to the bathroom middle of the night
..so both bedrooms are now occupied.. at least one of us might get almost a full night's sleep.
..and it's Christmas and the guy we need to speak to in the building regarding this whole thing is away for the holidays
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
..for a year and a half, while we were building the house out west, we rented one a few streets away..
..when something needing fixing.. got on the phone, told the landlord.. and went on about our business..
..looking forward to that stress level once again.. we are sooo over home ownership..
