There are times when I get upset because my mom will call morning or night, to complain about something. I’m not always able to deal with these calls with a smile, but I do my best. The last time he called me, it was to complain about there being a cold spot in the house. I don’t know if he just needs someone to talk to or if he really has something that needs to be dealt with. Last week, when she told me about the cold spot, I almost asked her what dad said, but then I changed my mind. Dad is not someone that you want working on the HVAC system. Although he is quite a handyman when it comes to odd chores, anything that has to do with HVAC becomes a major chore. It is cheaper and easier to call the HVAC company than to allow dad to repair it. I explained to mom that the problem could be with the ductwork. Every house has their cold spots, but often there can be a small crack in the ductwork. The air will blow through that hole or crack and cause a cold spot. I told her to call the HvAC company and if dad gave her any grief, then she could call me. Dad agreed with what I said and told her that calling the HVAC company was the right move. She was able to have the ductwork repaired. Once she had the ductwork repaired, the cold spot in the living room went away. It made her feel better, and I felt better too.
