Huge Chunk of Ice

This has been an interesting winter for us as we moved into a new place at the beginning of December.  We had been looking for a place because the winter was so terrible the year before at Rosewood and we didn't want to experience that again.  However, this place hasn't proved to be much better.  Upon moving in the door to Norah's bedroom fell off its hinges and it took them 1.5 months to come and fix it.  Really?  Then, after they replaced it it got warmer and it wouldn't fit in the door frame, so we can to call them again to come fix that.  Add on that our dishwasher broke, followed by our dryer and then the basement flooded... we weren't happy.  We also had to call them because the previous tenants had left a roll of carpet there which was now soaking wet and i didn't want it to get moldy.  Guess how long it took them to get it out of there AFTER they said they were going to take care of it?  Humph.  Well, anyway, the last straw was when we heard this really loud crash so we looked to see what it was and this huge chunk of ice had fallen off the roof (it tore the gutter right down) and landed on the AC unit in the backyard.  It was ridiculous.  Luckily, we didn't need the AC in the middle of the winter, but I just couldn't believe how lazy they had become with everything around this place.  This is definitely something that could've been prevented.





Anyhoo, we had an interesting thing happen to us this winter.  The sensor in our van kept telling us the wheel pressure was low so just a random day I asked G if he could go take care of that.  So he went to the gas station to fill it up which shouldn't take long right?  Well, I get a call from him saying that the wheel is deflated because the little nub that you unscrew came completely off!  WHAT?!  So he finds a spare tire and we get it to a tire place and they said that this isn't the first one that they'd seen.  That, it was pretty common this winter because it was so cold and that people have shredded their tires driving on the highway when it happened.  So, even though it was a bit of an inconvenience during the day I am so very thankful that we caught it when we did.  It was a cheaper fix because the tire wasn't destroyed and it could've been much scarier had we been driving with everyone in the car. So, small blessings.  :)
