Well, it's progress of a sort

selenayOn the plus side, someone from my church is coming out today or tomorrow to sort out the soffit (sp?) under the eaves. He did come on Sunday, but due to the faulty doorbell that we haven't been able to fix I didn't hear him. When he came round yesterday, he saw the "Please knock" note on the door and followed instructions. I need to make that sign much, much bigger, I think.
On the down side, it is not the thermostat that has packed up. It is the valve that lets the heat through from the furnace to the currently unheated section of the house. That was too big a job to do last night so the technician will return today with the new valve and a plan that involves turning off the furnace, draining part of it and soldering things together. I suspect this may mean that I'm entirely without heating today for a while.
Working from home is less fun when you have no heating. Brr.
House, could you accept that this is your lot for the next few months and save further repair situations until the weather is warmer?
It's poetic something or other that the unheated part of the house is the bit with the comfy chairs and TV. I need that section tonight: it's injection day and I want to be able to watch movies and eat cake after I've stabbed myself!
