Baby, it's cold inside!


I got up and went to the swim class this morning. It felt good to get back in the water. But then I came home. Uh-oh!

John said the heat was not on. The overnight temperature had been about 10F. Our usual comfortable 68 was down to 63. John made several calls to the HVAC miracle man, and they figured out what part was needed. However, it wasn’t going to be available until Monday.

 (Note: Never have HVAC problems on a Friday night when the temperatures have been below freezing for 3 whole days.)

I went to Lowe’s and got a quartz room heater, and that was working and helping take the chill off.

The MM came to the house about 3. He and John tinkered around with the unit, trying to get to work, at least until Monday. And, Hooray!, they got it working, and the temperature came up to a bearable 66F.

Well, the heat was short-lived. The MM going to try to get the part tomorrow, but isn't sure he can do it. It's supposed to be around 20F tonight, so not as bad, then in the upper 40s tomorrow. We'll survive, but @###$%$#$#.

We’re going to close off part of the house overnight, and just heat the kitchen, master bedroom and hall, so we’ll be okay. What a pain!

I'm glad the quartz heater worked.
