Over the years, I have dreaded the Winter seasons. Not only does it cost me a lot of money on our heating bills, but I can’t deal with the kids playing around our condo throwing snowballs at each other. Not only do they throw snowballs at each other but they like to throw them at the icicles around the houses, including mine. I have yelled at these kids countless times not to throw snowballs at our house, but they never seem to listen. This past Winter was critical when they threw a snowball at this certainly giant icicle. It happens to be right over our air conditioning system condenser unit. I heard the loud crashing noise and I was incredibly miserable at these kids when I saw the damage caused to our Heating, Ventilation, and A/C equipment. I ended up getting a hold of their parents and had them toil off the cost to maintenance the Heating, Ventilation, and A/C unit by doing more than 2 chores around the house. I even had them breaking wood for our fireplace which was easily pretty nice, but I was still aggravated about what they did. This year I am taking extra precautions by keeping our air conditioning system condenser component covered so it doesn’t get damaged by icicles and the neighborhood kids. I assume I should be fantastic and I shouldn’t have any more concerns with our Heating, Ventilation, and A/C system, but I am always upset about what those kids are going to do next… Of course, I do kind of miss having them helping around the condo and getting wood for our fireplace. I could use more help care about that.
