We moved into this house 6 years ago this past January - 2007. It was new, had just been built. We had an inspector come out and check everything. Said the A/C- Heating units were fine, even though they were not new. In 2011, we had to replace the downstairs unit; now we had to replace the upstairs unit. And then we found out from someone who was there that the builder KNEW these old units would not last long!
I have had to pray and pray to not let bitterness take root. The builder cut corners in several places while building and we been finding them out as the years go by. We know the builder, and I don't think I will feel very comfortable in his presence now. He is a Christian brother, and we are very disappointed. John's company has not had any new business for the past 6 months, and it really strapped us financially to have this 2nd unit installed today.
I am thankful that God is the supplier of our needs. Without the unexpected money that came in this month, we would have had to wait. We will just have to be very careful till the end of the month when John's retirement check comes in.
This whole thing has been an exercise in faith, and reminds me of the Bible verse "You can be sure your sins will find you out" (Numbers 32:23). I don't know why some people think that because it's business, biblical principles do not apply, especially the mandate "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" (Luke 6:31).
We are terribly disappointed with this experience. Some things are difficult to understand.
