We got home before dark last night. That always our goal and we are pretty good at it. Yesterday we did just fine. We only unloaded the perishable items and plopped. We were beat. Wait. What is that? What is that noise? Annoying. Invasive... is that the washer off balance? Did Abraham start a load of laundry? Not likely because we hang everything to dry and it was well after dark. Ok, it stopped. Maybe Ivan is on the roof??? Back to checking out the stock market and reading news of the day and just breathing. There it goes again. In search of the racket, I got to the guest kitchen to learn it was coming from the frig. The booming lasted for about a minute but then repeated about every 15 minutes. I unplugged the frig with the intent of moving everything to the other frig early this morning. With the doors shut all night the food would be just fine. So, early this morning I consolidated everything and Abraham called Tomas. Thankfully, Tomas was able to do his troubleshooting over the phone. Somehow the ice maker had gotten turned on and the tray was turning to empty ... thus the pounding sound. He told Abraham how to turn it off and we moved everything back into the guest kitchen. Meanwhile Justin is cooking a turkey in the guest kitchen because, as you know, the oven in the grand cocina is out for repair.
Oh, and wait, why was there water all over the floor in the bathroom last night? Justin turned off the water and texted Ivan. He was here first thing this morning. Make it stop!!!
Erich from Bulldog Solar came today about 11am. He is doing an install at Margorie’s. Justin made arrangements for him to come by and assess things at our house. Justin has grand designs of going solar if not totally off grid. All I know is that our brand new solar water heater isn’t resulting in hot water. Maybe it is plumbed incorrectly but hopefully Erich will be able to shed some insight.
