The not so friendly furnace...

Ever since we had gotten back from our honeymoon, I complained and complained and complained some more about how cold it was in our house! Tony called me a baby and threw me another blanket. Before I left for work on Wednesday, I asked him to check our furnace out. Guess what, it was shot and we needed a new one!

Luckily my dad works in the plumbing and heating business and gave us the number to a great business to call for help. It's a good thing we called when we did because he said it was very dangerous to be using this old furnace. It was emitting a lot of CO2. SCARY! They are currently at our house working away on it now. I took a half day off to let them in, and my father in law Alan will be covering the afternoon shift, so I can go back to work.

Thanks to Jon and Mindy for loaning us their space heater, and thanks to my dad for giving us some wood for our fireplace! Everything works out in the end....and now we won't have this problem for another 20 years!

Here's our corroded and gross furnace from the inside.

Here's the outside pipe. It should not be black! That's what tells us it's dangerous apparently. Good job house inspector who failed to see this! 

Luna has been enjoying lounging around by the fireplace since it has been burning night and day.


I learned how to work the fireplace....

She crawled under the ledge in front of the fireplace and fell fast asleep.
