housebound with itchy eyes and coughing...

Ugh, now that i'm home all the time I'm focussing big time on all the things in my house that bug me.

We've had the a/c on for 2 days and all of us are feeling a bit off. Abby was coughing badly and had green "eye cheese" in her little eyes the past 2 mornings. I seriously have itchy eyes right now. And hubby woke up feeling crappy.

I wish I knew where the cooling coils and all the other parts were that needed cleaning. I wish I could do it myself. Our a/c unit is a billion years old (probably needs to be in a museum) and I dont want to put any more $$ in it, even to clean it, but a new unit will run about $3500. Unless we can split that over 30 months (payments) then we definitely can't afford it.

I was going to wait until the fall or later for us to get a new one, as I really wanted a new diswasher too. But this may be a higher priority if the air quality in our house is making us sick... let alone the cost to run that puppy!!!
