Accidentally slept with my windows open a few nights ago and it dropped down to the high 40s overnight...whew lad that was dumb.

It dropped down into the 60's today, and I had to put on long sleeves.

Didn't end up with a backache?

My heat/AC thermostat is set to automatically come on, so during the last week, I had "dueling appliances" happening in my house.

Nice

Just in the morning thus far and so far today is the second official day. I noticed yesterday morning the heat came on for my tenant as well ( attached apartment). And I could tell this morning that his heat had already been on overnight sometime as the boiler didn't have to warm up when I booted my heat enough to make it kick on for the main house. So anyway, ya it's official, the hummingbirds are gone , took down the feeders, good that I got my exterior touch up painting done last week cause summer 2021 is gone !

Yep, it’s chilly here, too. The dog snuggled under the blankets the other night; she never does that. I thought if the dog who’s covered in fur is cold, it might be time to turn on the heater.

A couple of days in the low 40s. We turned the heat on and ...



... nothing happened. Parts no longer available. Looks like we need a new furnace. In a hurry.

Uh oh!

Oh nasty

Reminds me of when my boiler packed up - I've no storage tank for hot water.

I was standing in the shower all covered in soap when the hot water suddenly went COLD !! - boiler had failed

It was 4 days before Christmas so was without it until after New Year !!

I turned the heat on last Friday. Came downstairs and the house was like a meat locker. This morning, there was frost all over the garage roof.

So, I suppose it'll be spitting snow before we know it.

I don't care. I don't care if it snows ten feet.

Second opinion coming tomorrow. In the mean time daytime temps are good. The house stays in the 60s at night. We will have it fixed one way or another in a week. Electric room heaters are at the ready just in case.

The one thing I was poorly prepared for earlier this year was a storm that took out electricity to the neighborhood for almost four days. A tiny bit prepared, but not enough. I had three battery backups, enough to start our on demand water heater (needs electricity) and run a pump to my fish tank and keep my modem and network up. I'd deplete one and drive to my daughter's house for a recharge while the other was working. Needless to say that would not power a refrigerator. That's sort of the one area where I feel highly vulnerable. But then of course natural gas prices are on a steady steep incline. I expect it to be painful to pay for heat this winter. As long as I can pay I can stay warm. But if the electricity goes out there's not a lot I can do. I've been thinking of a solar panel and battery and inverter but those cost some serious cash.
