Just a quick update for those darlings out there who have been worrying about me being without heat and without hot water. Got the heat back!
Naturally, it is a long story and I am not ready to tell it yet, but, suffice it to say,......(what a stupid, meaningless, tortured phrase that is.....I apologize for using it).....as I was saying, what I have done is gotten a carbon monoxide monitor and turned the heating system back on. I did this yesterday around midafternoon. The heat is blissful and the monitor has stayed strangely silent. Hmmmmm.
Now, I am beginning to wonder if that MF Plumber who told me about the crack in my heater and the carbon monoxide was just pulling a big con on me.........I am taking a while to think about that.....I am still fairly calm but I am afraid that if I relax for just a moment I will have to rush out and murder that MF Plumber......
Meanwhile I am both calm and WARM.

Interesting thought. Meanwhile, you have the monitor AND you are aware of the symptoms you had, so if they begin to return, you can quickly turn the heat off again and see what happens.
ReplyDeleteYou never know, however I hope not. Be aware and look for any signs then go and run that plumber down. :( lol.....Debb
ReplyDeleteGlad you are warm.
ReplyDeleteAlways get a second, and if needed a third, opinion and price before having major work done. Do not tell any of them that you've had others look at it. If you have a friend in the business, get his/her opinion, too.
Can you tell i've dealt with tons of repairs around here?
If it is a con, then how cruel to leave you so cold. Your symptoms actually remind me of some my daughter has for her eustachian tube dysfunction. It's related to allergies and it basically means her ears are all clogged up, which affects equilibrium. Easy to fix though. You might want to have it checked out.
ReplyDeleteGood for you Lois (I mean about getting the heat back). I always have that nasty feeling too, about contractors in general.
ReplyDeleteStay calm, and warm.
What a mess, Lo. I hope it all comes together without too much expense or disruption. My sympathies.
ReplyDeleteHip Hooray! The "hot" mama is back. Enjoy the heat. There's snow between you and me now.
ReplyDeleteOkay. That's scary. Just watch the cats, they'll be the first to let you know of any problems, before you have to pack your bags, either for the hospital or the great beyond... Now, don't think yourself in a pique -- that's unseemly... Come visit when you can,
