Yesterday (2nd of December) the local furnace repair shop that I am familiar with, came to look at the furnace in this house. It was working and keeping the place warm, but was old.
I had to make sure and be at the house for 8am, as I was not told an exact time, only to be there between 8 and noon. Luckily he came at 9am, just a young guy, turns out the furnace is older than he is!
After a good look, he said it had NEVER been serviced or cleaned, and was amazed that for 37 years this furnace just kept working. Totally inefficient, and was last inspected on the day it was installed in 1972! So, instead of trying to upgrade this old fossil, I am pricing a new furnace. Kind of had an idea we would need to, but sometimes people have changed out the motors, so just wanted to make sure.
Going to let a friend in the business quote first, then will see which way to go. But want to get that going right away.
Adair and Hailey were busy, and managed to strip off all the tiles and linoleum from the hall and are halfway through the kitchen linoleum. But they took a break to learn how to cap copper lines, and then demolish the kitchen, and the two vanities in the bathrooms
I had ordered a "skip" for trash, and it showed up around 2pm, and we all started filling it with the old carpets, kitchen... everything INCLUDING the kitchen sink! Good Day
