ARGH jedstivers, don't get me started.
Electrician came out to fix several times before one of the guys said that the flags had gone off, so it had been hit by lightning. That is when the insurance came into it.
But basically electrician would come and fix it and it would work once and then when you go down at 9 o'clock at night it would not work and that went on for months. It turned out that it was the remote control receiver that was faulty, so when we used it, it would work and then it would do its own diagnostic and find itself broken and then wouldn't work the next time we used it. Them coming and fixing it during the day cost us, plus turning on the electricity during the day cost us more.
They deemed it obsolete and to expensive to fix, so the whole meter box, etc, etc had to be replaced. Insurance are not fast. We did not have the money to fix it first and be repaid later. So we had to wait for insurance. Believe me they are not fast.
Then waiting for Electrician who told me he was going to fix it on Monday. I didn't notice that he didn't come. Then flooded so forgot about it.
Then electrician forgot about us and when I finally blew up in the Insurance Office they rang the electrician while I was there and he was away and wife told them it was fixed.
ARGH.
Which is when we found out that one of the submersible pumps wasn't working. Dovers then became involved and they brought it up for us and $15,000.00 for a new pump which insurance paid some of it, but we paid the rest. A bit of a smaller pump than the one that went as hopefully less HP, so less $$$'s to run it.
The day after we paid that $15,000.00 was when the rain started. So you can blame me. Rain every day for 3 months and ended up with the City of Brisbane being flooded, so you probably saw it on the News even over there. If we had of known that was going to happen we would have been better off with the money in the bank than the pump not being used.
I cut yesterday for the first time in I can't remember. The air conditioner was blowing to start with and then stopped, so I was hoping it was just a fuse, but hubby came in before he went to work and said that the wiring is burnt. Probably due to a mouse or something. So I will be without an air conditioner for awhile. Luckily it is the start of Spring and still a cool breeze to open the windows for, which does make it noisy, but I wear ear muffs. In summer I will have to use another tractor if we hadn't had it fixed, but again that will probably cost money and we don't have much of that at the moment.
