So sorry to hear of all your trouble.  I know it has to be very frustrating. 

Wish I had a happy ending story to share - I've been fighting a never ending headache, and I'm not thinking too clearly right now. 

I'll accept commiserating! :) Especially from you. I hope your headache clears up. 

After I posted, the mail came. The electric bill is even higher than I expected. 

The company that messed up is sending a manager to look at everything tomorrow. AND he said if they messed up, they will help with the electric bill and service charges. IF they actually do, I'll let everyone know my happy ending story. :)

Thanking God for a fireplace today!!!!

Karen, 

My mom in Mobile is facing similar disasters with her house, elevated energy bills due to repairs, etc., and the frustration of things not going right.  She did have a vendor say, as did yours, that if their work contributed to the elevated bills, they would pay them.  Amen.  

You will get through it all, it will get better, and it could be worse.  Thank God for emergency funds, cooperative vendors, and a mild winter (and us to vent to...) of, and faith.  

A happy ending story? What about the time my dog ate Christmas present?

OneMommy-praying the headache leaves soon.  Sending prayers and healing hugs...

Oh, how I can relate!  But thank God you have reserves.  That, it itself, is a HUGE blessing!

I am, however, quite thankful that we have a financial plan that includes an emergency fund, that we live in the south and are having a mild winter (these 60 degree days do help!) and that we have gas log fireplaces to warm us when needed.

Welcome!!!! I'm not usually one to vent, but the past few weeks with this furnace stuff has got me batty! Please stick around and get to know me and the rest of the joyful bloggers here. 

They are so encouraging when life throws a wrench into the works!!! (Which might be exactly what I do next. LOL)

I hope your situation resolves/resolved well.

Luckily it's been warmer up north too. Our furnace died a few weeks ago and of course we weren't expecting it. Do bad things ever happen when you do expect them? I'm new to blog frog but working my thru. Have a good night.

This will exhaust the reserves. We had two car accidents last year (first of 21 married years) and our house got struck by lightning last fall. We are as done as done can be with the emergencies!!!! Praying God gives us a year to rebuild the reserve.
