I called my friends over to have a surprise birthday party for my husband.
We had everything planned out.
My best friend helped me plan the party since she’s an event planner. It was great to have her help because without her my house wouldn’t look as extravagant for his birthday as it does now. We had all sorts of hor dourves, fruit and vegetable platters, pasta, meats and of course desserts. We had decorations put up to exaggerate my husband being “over the hill.” It definitely was extravagant that was stated by my friend, the event planner. We waited for him in the dark. He was on his way home when he gave me a call. We shut the lights and all huddled around waiting to scream, “Surprise!” All of a sudden I heard my HVAC system kick on. My friend’s husband told me that the noise was very loud for the system to be kicking on like that. Not even a minute later we heard rattling. It sounded like the ductwork was about to come out of the ceiling. My husband’s friend stated again that I should contact our HVAC provider once the party is over, I agreed with him. We continued along with the party, my husband was very surprised and was so grateful that everyone could celebrate his big 50th birthday. I didn’t want to tell my husband because I knew that he would want to get the problem fixed right away. The next morning our HVAC technician told us that two pieces of our ductwork that joined together ended up getting loose.
