I'm Back! And So is the Furnace Repairman...
The Good News: Thanks to the incredible generosity of one of Russ's co-workers, I have a computer again. Bob & his lovely wife Cheryl are now tops on my list! And my kids have been good sports about sharing with me...
The Bad News: You got it, sports fans. We're 0/3 on the furnace as of this morning. I came downstairs to 60 degrees once again, and called the heating/air company for the fifth time. When the (I'm sure nice) man answered the phone and asked how he could help me, I know I was slightly less than polite. And it didn't help that every time I've called he's mispronounced the name of my street!
The repairman showed up after lunch, and after a long time he and Russ (who was working from home) figured out that the furnace was installed incorrectly this summer, without a drain. Apparently there's a lot of condensation involved with a furnace, and when there's no drain things just shut down. Over and over again.
There's a temporary fix in place now that involves Russ having to empty a bucket periodically. And I'm good with that. As long as 1) I don't have to go into the crawl space myself, and 2) my house is warm in the morning...
Here's hoping!

How does anyone mispronounce the name of your street!? So glad it's working now and you don't have to freeze every morning!
