Furnace

While we are gone we have two legislators staying in our home. One of the things that we do to get it ready for them to stay and for us to leave is to have the furnace checked and placed under a service contract. Monday morning it was time for the furnace's checkup. It failed! Our 35 year old furnace was rusting and cracking and in need of replacement. But, not a health hazard. So, we weren't going to die of CO2 poisoning. But, what to do?

After gnashing of teeth, saying "why now" "why me" and stressing, we decided to go ahead and replace the furnace. That however, brought up the question of what to do with the old air conditioner, which was followed by the question of what to do with the 13 year old water heater. So, with the furnace people looking like they had won the lottery, we broke down and agreed to replace all of them: the furnace, water heater and air conditioner. They will be installed Wednesday. Hope the legislators enjoy them.
