We are (NOT) havin' some fun, now!

Or why it will be a multi-post day.

SO,

*deep breath*

we woke up to find water on the basement floor due to the fact that the gas furnace--which we are having to run because our old heat pump busted last winter and our new mother-of-all-heat-pumps isn't QUITE ready to be started...

*needs new paragraph to stop run-on sentence*

The furnace overheated because the decrepit-fan-of-idiocy wouldn't turn on, and steam built up and blew the end off a pipe (I think) and water spewed out on the basement floor, BUT, it wasn't as bad as it COULD have been, since Loren had taken the cap off the drain.

*large breath*

HOWEVER, we've called the heating peoples and we are their third stop on their emergency list!

And that will give Loren time to run over to Latimer and look at a pump part--as in well pump--since that is showing signs of going CAPUT, and I will remain here, holding down the home front and waiting on a call from Menard's concerning a new bladder for me....oh WAIT, I mean a new bladder for the PUMP, of course, and if it's under a certain price I can give the OK to order it.

But other than that, it just a matter of doing the normal schooling and staying warm by the space heaters and being pretty sure that the house won't blow up because Loren turned off the furnace.

*sneeze*

I think.

There will definitely be pictures of the new little niece, later, as we've just received photos by emailish magic.


New nieces are always nice, ya know.

And now that I'm done mopping and blogging, you'll have to pardon me while I go eat breakfast.
