Monday

Tomorrow, the heat pump guys are supposed to come back and fix the drain they didn't do correctly the first time. It should be minimally invasive surgery. They originally said they would come last Tuesday and then changed their minds. Maybe they will change their minds again. But, that's tomorrow.

Today is free from everything at least so far.

The building manager got a carpet cleaner recommendation from his bosses. I sent them an email inquiry.

Two weeks ago, SteveTheLawyer promised us we'd see a schedule and spreadsheet 'quickly'. And, of course, since then, nothing. So he got his WTF email this morning. No one should be forced to do business with retired people who have nothing to do all day but harass them.

I turned off the humidifier in my bedroom because the temperature is so low that the cool kicks on and that seems counter productive. Except this morning I have a bloody nose. Not a terrible one but enough of one to make me rethink the humidifier situation.

I need a heat pump master to come advise me how to use this thing. You'd think the company that sold it to me might hop in here but nope. Apparently not. The sales guy has done his thing. He's gotten all the cash he's going to get out of me. The installer guys don't really know how to operate it. So I've got the manual which is, amazingly, not helpful at all. Sigh.

I do have to decide which of my three remaining meals to have today. Fun! At some point this week, I'm going to need to make a market trip but not today.

I am going to need to make a treadmill visit, tho. Guess I'll go get that done now.

Main thing to know about the heat pump in my previous house is "Em Heat" on the controller has an "Em" for "emergency" and is a special kind of expensive heat that might still work even if the heat pump is half-broken but not a mode to be used otherwise.

Are your questions specific to your heat pump or more general? The place I've seen the most heat pump discussion is NZ's Geekzone. (Heat pumps are the primary heat source here.) I learned there how incredibly complicated my initial thought of having ducted heat pumps installed would have been which saved me from a very expensive mistake.
