Drip… Drip… Drip…
That is what I am sitting here, listening to while Windows 2003 installs on a server in the other room. The HVAC guy just left.
I found three of the ceiling tiles adjacent to the AC unit rather well soaked, so there had to be a service call. The condensation drain pipe had plugged, as apparently is common, causing the overflow. Lucky, I was… when he poked a hole in the worst tile it spouted water down into a trash barrel for a few minutes. I’d have had one wet office. This seems to happen a lot here.
Anyway, I have to leave the AC off and he’ll be back in the morning. It’s an excuse to make improvements to the drainage pipe from that unit. If I hadn’t already propped open the office door to let the Taiwan pesticide fumes out, I’d have needed to do so to keep it cool.
Until it stops or I leave, I just have to listen to the residual water drip. In theory it should stop after a while…
