Just An Update

It's seems like I've been blogging in spurts these days. I'll go like a week without blogging and then I'll end up doing 2 posts in a day. Life is just a little crazy right now. Well, I think everyone's life is crazy right now. Anyway...here is just an update with what happened to our furnace. Our heat is finally fixed (for now). I hope I don't jinx myself there. We ended up going 2 weeks without heat! Ah! It broke on Thanksgiving day, we called to get it fixed and they couldn't see us till Tuesday so we froze until Tuesday. On Tuesday the guy came to look at it and couldn't find anything wrong with it. He just reset the systme and it worked fine...for about 5 hours. It was out before I even went to bed! I called the furance people back and they couldn't see us until Friday (the day of my ornament party). Well, when he came out he took a look at it and said that it needed a new computer board and he would order the parts. So I said, "what am I supposed to do until then?" He told me he changed the fuse and we'll just have to wait 3-4 days until the parts came in. By the time my party came around, the furnace was down again. So I didn't ahve heat or A/C and with 25 people in my house, it got awfully toasty! So we went without heat until that Tuesday and finally the owner of the furnace company came out. He thought it was a problem with the sensors so he did a few things to help it work for awhile and told me he'd be back to replace the sensors the next day. The heater went out again that night and luckily he was coming back to replace the sensors. The sensors were replaced and we had heat that whole day, but of course in the night it went out!!! So you have to understand this is now Wednesday of the next week and our house was getting down to 65-67 degrees at night. Thank goodness it was somewhat on the warmer side that week. Wednesday night I was at my wits end with this whole thing! I was tired of waking up with a sore throat, I was tired of having Ethan sleep in my bed to keep warm, and I was tired of having to stay home to let in the furnace man! So 2 weeks from the day it went out, my favorite furnace man came and found out what the problem was. I guess the outside panel would defrost the coils and the water was getting on the wires and causing it to short. Finally, some answers! So now we have heat and life is better! Yeah! Man that was frustrating! I'm just glad everything was under warranty and that it wasn't a bigger problem. Sorry for the long, boring post.
