Hot Stuff

There should have been a prize for guessing

and if there had been

it would have gone to

NANCY MILLS

who definitely

keeps tabs on what we are up to.

Whether we’re driving in SC

or getting a furnace in VA.

Way to go Nancy!!

After 4 YEARS of heating

ONLY

with wood

 and

4 MONTHS of

negotiating with bids and contracts,

the FINAL inspection was done

and the house has a

NEW FURNACE!!

Out with the 35 year old

(notice supervisor Bosco)

including its hole.

 

AFTER

 Ray going "down underground"

which is a 14” high space at its deepest <yikes>

 

Alan building complex duct work

 

which was insulated and put

in the now EMPTY attic

(see Sunday March 20 Blog)

Alan and Travis added new fresh air and exhaust pipes

 

And then…………..

In with the new

which required Jim, Jeff, Ray and Alan in the closet :-)

 

Here she is

in her new home under the stairs

taking up nearly all the space

in one of the only closets

in this old farmhouse

 

along with new AC

and new propane tank!

 

Betty came from the county offices,

gave it the final inspection approval

and we’re up and running. 

Just in time for snow and rain

and temps 20 degrees below normal  L

 

Hats off to

Clyde E Smith Heating & Air Conditioning

who did a fabulous job!

Once they got the nod

they were here in a flash

with plenty of guys who

were efficient, 

thorough and tidy.

 

Once they left,

other than great working heat,

you couldn’t tell they’d been here.

FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!

the farmhouse has a

WORKING

furnace

First Tires and now furnace

That’s two

BIG

checks off the list

of

MUST BE DONE

before we can

HIT THE ROAD!

Still have more on

the list to check off

but those are the biggest.

Awnings and slide toppers,

a water heater leak,

a small hydraulic leak,

cell phone to upgrade,

and of course

PACKING UP

but

hey there’s a week

or even 9 days if we

HAVE

to have it.

IF IT WOULD JUST STOP RAINING!!!

Wish us luck!!!

(still can’t promise to be at the rally before Monday but we’re really trying)
