Furnace
Today the new furnace is going in. We are having a local guy put it in for about $800 cheaper than the original quote from the local "big" company. We are still going to have to borrow money but not that much and we should have it paid back quickly. It will be really nice to have real heat and see the gas bill change. Not that we would really be able to tell this time of year anyway.
The past couple of days with just the space heaters has been chilly, but not to bad. About mid-afternoon once the sun has warmed everything up its really not too bad, its not cool at all. Its the mornings that are freezing as we only leave one on downstairs. Making breakfast in a 12C kitchen is not fun.

So very cold and poor
So this morning after Maya and I got up, the thermostat which had a number that was a degree lower than is should be. So I set to the day time temperature as per usual and waited for the furnace to kick in... nothing happened. Oh oh. Last time this happned it was the fan motor, but a quick check of the cold vents, and total lack of regular furnace sounds assured me that it wasn't the same problem.
So finally the furnace guys comes at about 2pm, looks at the furnace for 2 minutes and says "this isn't good at all". I got a sinking feeling. He kindly pointed out what all was going on and what was wrong and why he was worried about our house blowing up.
Basically we need a new furnace, the very old one we have is in need of major repair and its not really worth it.
Anne hasn't woken up yet and knows none of this, I don't realy want her to wake up.
The best part of this is that is Friday and nothing is goign to happen until Monday at the earliest.
Added: I wondered what all the noise was about today while I was sleeping...... The furnace is over 30 years old and we knew this was coming, we had hoped just not now. We have some space heaters so our toes don't fall off. Apparently Maya denied being cold all day and was just wearing a long sleved shirt. If you want to donate to our poor fund feel free. We take cash, cheaque, and money order.
