I took the front cover off the printer to get to where the paper feed is.  There were a couple of pieces to come out.  Back there is the “feed mechanism” that pulls one sheet at a time into the printer before ink spits out.  There was a gob of that drywall dust in there—how it got there I don’t know, but there was the same thing all over everything in here that I didn’t cover with plastic before the work began.  The only thing I can figure is that some of the dust got in the slot in the back of the printer and, when the thing tried to suck a piece of paper in, the gob got in the way, the paper was late coming, so the top of the form was cut off for lack of ink spitting out. 

After I clicked it back together, it printed out another form perfectly!  Guess I should’ve thought of that before I said anything, but it never crossed my mind dust would find its way back inside there!  I’m thankful I could clear it because I did not want to have to buy another printer!  

And, yes, sometime I’ll tell you about the whole mess.  And it was a mess!  And it wasn’t comfortable in here for quite a while.  And LeRoy was getting testy because the temp unit had to be attached to the patio door and that meant he couldn’t go outside the way he likes.  

I’m proud of myself that I didn’t bite the head off the contractor or the manager.

Hi Mary.

I missed you were having ac issues. I feel your pain. Would love to hear about it sometime. How did you solve the address?

Dear Cindy,

              I just sent an explanation.  This AC deal has been a nightmare!  We went through the heat wave with a temporary unit, there was a big mess to clean up, I just cleared a ball of grip out of the printer and it’s fine now.  I hadn’t printed in a couple of weeks, so the paper caught and the top of the form was cut off.  

              Advice:  Never have a PTAC unit!  They’re a big problem to replace.  But that’s life, and I’m thankful we survived it!  The new one works fine!  

              I’d be happy to tell the details sometime!  

Mary

There is no address in the email or the WORD forms telling us where to mail them.  I know David’s address is Urbandale, but only email and phone number are provided on the Board list.  Does anyone think it would be a good idea to post an address?  Some of us are ready to register.
