Heat and Cool, Expected and Unexpected
Jul. 18th, 2010 05:06 pmTomorrow we get the last of the big expenses we planned when bought the house, the wood stove insert for the fireplace. We ended up deciding to pay for installation. More cost, but done faster and done right (and that makes the house insurance company happier).
However, it is hard to feel I need such a thing in this weather. Especially since my central AC is down. Possibly because the repairman put in the wrong size capacitor (according to Lawnchair's research). So we have a new capacitor (and the hard start kit the repairman recommended) on order from the internet (because the local places do not sell to the general public). I miss the rest of the house. I miss cooking.
But I'll be warm this winter. Even if the electricity goes off.
