I guess that would be the perfect time to use The Villages Lifestyle rental.  |

How about all the Florida old ladies on fixed income who call their AC repair guy and hear "you need a new system, $6000 please"?

LOL, I didn't say that I did (and I most certainly don't). Your comment is about little old ladies, my comment was about MY WIFE AND I if
OUR system dies. Your comment is like saying "eat all your peas because there are hungry children in China." The "little old ladies" will deal with it the same way whether I stay in a hotel or not but if I have to run up my credit card for a week to keep my wife and I out of the inferno I'll do it because there is no way I'll sit in a 99 degree house nor will I pay $3000 more for a "rush system" because I need it NOW. $99 x 7 = $693 is a lot less to spend than getting rushed into spending $3000 more by a contractor because they know I am uncomfortable. I do feel bad for your "little old ladies" and if you are concerned about them please donate new A/C systems to the "L.O.L. FOUNDATION for replacement air conditioning systems" as I am sure they need your help.
