Update on storm damage

The repairman got here around noon today........we could not thank him enough for getting here as quickly as he did.  Status so far is as follows:

-a/c has been fixed......fried circuit board.  He had this part with him and was able to repair it today.  Along with the a/c unit, the circuit board for the furnace was also fried.  Will have part on Monday.
-refrigerator......fried circuit boards(2).  Part has to be ordered and will not be here until Monday.  Fortunately, I called the office at Gate Guard Services and asked it they by chance had a refrigerator at the office.....they do and we were able to take some of our food and put in their refrigerator.....so, we will not loose everything!!!!!!
-satellite....we called this morning and ordered a new power source and hopefully that will fix the satellite.  Part should be here on Monday.  Unfortunately, that means NO TV ......which is going to make my nights even longer!!!!!!

Total costs should be around $1000.00-$1300.00 depending on if the parts we ordered for the dish fix the problem.  Probably will not file a claim with the insurance company as we have a $500.00 deductible.

The strange thing about this is that is was actually a DC problem, not 120V.  That is why everything else, TV, computer, convection oven, was not damaged.  It only hit the items that were DC connected, but did not affect 12 volt lighting.

Take care.....
