On Friday, Michael went down to check on our stock of squashes in the basement root cellar.
There he found soot around the furnace. This was not a good thing.
The furnace repair guy came within the hour, and told us the bad news. The furnace is gone. He said we were lucky that we didn't have boxes and such stored around the furnace because they would have caught fire and burned the house down.
So, we had two choices. Fix the furnace we have for about $1000, or replace it with one that will last about 40 years. If it were not for the $4000 price tag, that would have been the route we took, however, financially $4000 right now is out of the question. Option A, we will fix the furnace we have, and it will hopefully last another two years.
So then, came the question of when. " I have to order parts," he said. That means we would be without the furnace until probably Tuesday.
