I can always tell when the neighbor and his wife are fighting, because the guy usually sleeps in the backyard.
It’s a really nice backyard with a gazebo and a sofa.
Honestly, it’s probably a lot nicer than most of the local hotels. I thought I heard them yelling and screaming last night, but I was trying not to be a nosy neighbor. It was pretty late when I heard the commotion. I looked at the clock and I think it said 3:23am. I immediately went back to sleep and I didn’t hear the sound again. When I woke up in the morning, it was really cold in the house. I knew the heat was off, because I could see my breath in the air. I had to put on two pairs of socks and a pair of slippers before I left the bedroom. I went to the thermostat first. I knew it was cold. The temperature reading was 52 degrees, even though the heat was set much higher. I toggled the switch for heat and cool, but nothing helped the problem. I called the heating company to get someone to help me. About three hours later, someone arrived at my place. The guy checked the furnace for lots of different problems. He asked me if I heard any strange sounds coming from the furnace and I started to think about the commotion that I thought was my neighbors. I really thought they were arguing, but the strange sound must have been when the furnace abruptly stopped working. The repair fees were significant and the damage was serious.
