One last night remaining in St. Andrew's State Park in Panama City, Fl. Meet our new neighbors:

We are in St. Andrews State Park in Panama City, Fl for the next four nights. It's beautiful and we are right on the water. Unfortunately, if the pups veer off the paved walking trail they get inundated with pickers on their paws! UGH. It's like immediate and brutal!  Ok. So, how many of you leaf blow behind your portable shed and how many of you leaf blow in the woods behind your portable shed? We found one. He's next door. He's married to Karen from Purchasing. The OCD is palpable. We are safe, intact and no issues in Gulf Shores, Alabama. The pups are happy to have green grass to walk on. We are next to Karen from Purchasing (my name for her). Her lot is crammed with landscaping lanterns, mats, out building, flags, etc. The bird feeder doesn't even have bird food in it either ha ha. The only thing I see when I look at this lot is "PROJECTILES" during a hurricane lol. We spent last night at our comfort zone, the Graceland RV campground. Super nice people, very quiet campground, lot's of greenway to walk the pups. Then, around 2am we start hearing jets taking off. One after the other after the other. Constant jets over head, circling over the Memphis area. We both said to each other "we don't remember this ever happening last time we were here!" and "did the airport schedule all these flights after the holidays?" etc. Then John turns on the TV to find out Venezuela is under attack by the US. Everyone in the US near an airport or base must have experienced the same thing!
As we were driving toward Memphis to pick up the RV from Fernando at the Freightliner Oasis, John notices the humidity sensor in the crawlspace in the Michigan house starts to show the humidity has been rising steadily today. We call Michelle and she and the boys zoom over to the house to confirm ankle high water on the floor in the crawlspace. He instructs her to shut off the main water supply and the power to the furnace. We call Meridian heating and cooling (the one's who never came back) and they sent two crews over stat. They went to town! Brought crews and trucks! I imagine this song as they pull in:

It's all fixed. Chelle kept a close eye on them. All is well. AND a zero $$ invoice.
Heading to Memphis to pick up the RV. Man, these past few months were epic lol. https://youtu.be/bEeaS6fuUoA
Cayden from Sharon's Heating and Cooling gave us our home back and just in time. 8 degrees this morning, feels like 2. We can't imagine what our lives would be like without this company. Thank you for coming out on New Year's Eve during a winter storm. We are indebted to Cayden and the whole team. https://www.sharonshvac.com/  https://www.themeridianadvantage.net/ Negligent company.
Staggering indifference and incompetence We called for service on a boiler/ furnace not working on 12/23. Meridian sent a tech 12/24, said he would order parts needed ($1400.00 or so) and they might be there by Friday 12/26 but he would let us know either way. Friday comes and goes, no communication from him or Meridian. We are now 6 days into no furnace. Having portable heaters from friends, our gas fireplace, etc in a polar vortex. Monday comes. Nothing from Meridian. We call and the person answering the phone says she cannot see that any parts were ordered, she will call the tech and he will call us that day. He never did. We call back around 3:30 and we were told the parts were ordered, they have a tracking number and should be here Tuesday 12/30. Tuesday comes and goes. No communication. Wednesday comes and goes no communication. We called a different company, they came out and cleaned a valve. No parts were needed and we now have heat. It is unconsionable that this company did not reach out to ask about our welfare or offer us any assistance. As of today, 1/1/2026 they STILL have not called, emailed us or texted us. |
