A $700 Copperhead :(

So, last Saturday and Sunday night we noticed it felt warmer in the house than normal (the thermostat was reading 82 but was set on 78, and it wasn't really hot outside). We changed the air filters Saturday night (it was time) and it cooled back off through the night. However, on Sunday it got up to 86 during the day so we knew something was wrong. (UGH!) Roger went outside to check inside the AC Unit fuse box just to be sure nothing was wrong in there....and, this is what he found....AHHHHH!!!!!! Luckily it was dead when he opened the box because it was a 2 ft. long Copperhead. Not sure how it got in there or why it would have even crawled in there, but it did. Shorted out some stuff and made us have to replace the coils and some other things. Half day off from work (crazy at this time of year!!!), 4 days with no working AC and inside house temps of 89 (miserable sleeping conditions!!!), and $700 later we had air again! If anything else breaks, I think I might have to find a part time job! Fingers crossed everything else stays good like we need it too! :) ** We've had to explain to Logan that this snake was OUTSIDE and not where the air vents in the ceiling are. Poor thing was staring at the ceiling worried on might come out of the vent!
