Problem With Heat At Work

[Nyboy]

My busiest week of the year a litter of week old puppies. Sub zero temperatures, furnace started making very strange noise. Repairman just left circulator needs to be replaced noise is from bad barrings. I He didn't have one on his truck, will be back in morning to replace. He said should keep working though the night. I will be sleeping on dogbeds in kennel tonight.

And, what will you do if the furnace quits?

Backup heaters?

Portable, I have 3 little electric heaters. Additionally, there is baseboard heat in one room of the house but I never turn it on - the forced air gas furnace provides heat in there, also. The problem here at home is when electric power is lost. Gas furnace won't operate. There is a tiny camping cookstove in the garage. We got rid of the propane cooker on the deck - never used and didn't like it. Heat for the house? I'd have to carry in the cast iron wood stove from the garage and carry it down the stairs to the basement. Then, jury rig stove pipe through a basement window. It would be a terrible idea! I hope you aren't faced with those kinds of choices.

Good Luck!

I have electric heaters but will not leave them on if no one here. I have a generator that plugs right in to fusebox if power out. I am hoping old circulator holds out till tomorrow when it can be replaced

Glad to hear it. Nobody needs problems during the week between Christmas and New Year's Day.

I drove past a park yesterday morning and remembered another morning, several seasons ago.

I had arrived at a distant garden at about 4am that morning prepared to turn the sprinklers on to mitigate the freezing that I halfway expected. it didn't happen and about sunrise, I left.

It was after about 35 or 40 minutes of driving that I passed that park and see frost all over the lawn. I was only about 100 yards from my other garden ..!

Luckily, the garden was more protected from the frost than that lawn. There had been a sinking feeling of being in wrong place but also that silly notion of having done the best that I could expect of myself.
