Furnace Off – Again

Turned it back on around 7.

We did a lot of yardwork yesterday. I cleaned up the left side yard and both of us worked on the front. Ron used the leaf blower to clear around the Rose of Sharon and the low-lying juniper, the boxwood and arborvitae and the lawn. Filled eight bags.

Today I visited the Salvation Army to get the ball rolling on their Neighbor to Neighbor program. I also picked up groceries at Stop and Shop and dropped by State to see Alyssa.

Ron brought multiple leaf bags to the transfer station. I dug up the grass that invaded the low growing juniper, mulched and pulled dried stems from the base of the Rose of Sharon.

A new HVAC expert I found online did a thorough exam of the furnace and found nothing wrong. In fact, he praised the cleaning done by our oil man last Spring. He replaced the controller in the hope it’ll be more reliable and provide more info if the furnace stops again.

He assured us that we don’t need to consider replacing the furnace.

So this year we added a mini-split, a paved driveway, solar, had the garage roof fixed, replaced the frig and the furnace controller, removed the dangerous pile of cement blocks in the bulkhead and installed a gorgeous set of cement stairs.
