Well, I've been home for two weeks but am off to Dallas for a week Sunday. It's been good to be home as it's easy to work and get things done without the hassle of travel. Sunday should be interesting as there is a hurricane going in at Houston sometime tonight. It's suppose to hook east so Dallas should be on the edge of the issue and I'm hopeful that I'll get in OK Sunday. We'll see.
The house is now 8 years old and things are starting to need maintenance. The current list is one of the dish washers (we've a two drawer unit), the electric oven (the controller is dead and it's a known design flaw for this model, pity I didn't know it when we bought it), and now one of the ceiling fans will not go on. A bit of investigation suggest that it's the control electronics. I've ordered a replacement but, in the way of all such things, the replacement is incompatible with the old controllers. So I've ordered a new controller as well. Simple enough but, there's always a but you know. The fan needing service is one of 5 that uses the same remote controller! So the plan is to take one of the old controllers from one of the fifth fan and use it to replace the dead one then install the new controller in the fifth fan where the new control will be less of an issue. Twice the work, but a better solution I think.
