Coldest of the season

As you may remember last year in December we put new windows in the sun room. It was a cold and snowy day but at least the sun room could be closed off from the rest of the house and it was a fairly quick installation process. Now the coldest weather has arrived and guess what! No heat on Thursday morning. The blower on the 25 year old furnace had died overnight. So the money pit of living in a house continues. Of course the blower was a unique model (i.e. big $$$) and then there was the issue of the secondary condensers being corroded with an estimated life of 1-2 years. So heaters were brought in and a new furnace installation began today. The heaters maintained a temperature around 60 inside yesterday and snuggling in bed was delightful last night. I am baking today while the work progresses and there is the promise of heat sometime today. Thought my Christmas present was just going to be my new kitchen so I must have been very good this year to get a new furnace too. Thank you Santa!

If it gets too cold, in the words of the infamous Bob Barker "come on down!"
