Bad News!

We had just an AWFUL day! So this morning we woke up to a house that was 50 degrees! AHHH! Our furnace stopped working. So I bundled up Boo and sent him and Wes to our in-laws, while I was working from home waiting on the repair guy.

So there I am bundled like a burrito. Long Johns, PJs, and my uggs. FREEZING! Poor Murph was so cold I let him bundle with me. And let me tell you working in the cold, getting called/pinged 24/7 was NOT fun!! Stressful day....that only got worse.

So the guy didn't get here till 1pm...but wait...was that heat I was feeling?! Yes....the heat came back on before the guy came. WHAT?! So I told the guy to take a look at it still.

Well I'm glad I did! Our furnace was condemned! AHHHH! He was like you are VERY lucky your safety triggers were installed. Essentially our heater was overheated and the safety trigger said that it needs to turn off because YOUR HOUSE WILL BURN DOWN or LEAK CARBON MONOXIDE! OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think he said it was our heat exchange was cracked therefore condemning it. OMG! I about died. Merry Christmas to us right?!?!

Therefore, our money to our new roof is now going to our new furnace and ductwork. Sad right...but it has to be done. Now we just gotta begin to save for the roof again. Man, punch right in the gut.......like I said Sad Day!

Only good news is we have heard from several friends in the business that who is doing our install,Precision Air and Heating, is a very good reputable company. and our quote was reasonable and what our "friend" price would have been. They were super nice, and the guy was like I just hated to tell you what I had to but you've got a little one like me so I just had to. Other good thing is TAX CREDIT! YAH! One good thing and just meeting it. Apparently if you install an energy efficient furnace by Dec 31st you get a $1,500 tax credit. Blessing we caught it now, usually our luck would have been like Jan 1st find the problem. haha

Nice thing was the guy gave us some space heaters for the night, we borrowed two from Regina and Steve. So with one in each room, we are bundling for the night so the guys can come install the new one tomorrow!!!!!! BACK TO WARMTH!!!!!!!!
