We have heat! Doesn’t sound very adoption oriented, does
it? Well I guess there will be
many non-adoption things I write about and it actually is adoption related,
sort of.
Our home was built in 1959, and some of the parts are original. When we had the home
inspection we found out the furnace is older than either one of us! And will
probably have to be replaced in the next 5 years. We also found out we have an in furnace type of water
heater. Well after moving in we
figured out there is no hot water in the Bates house L We have about 3 minutes of hot
water and then it goes lukewarm. Which
was fine and dandy for summer but in October…. Not my favorite.
We’ve been told we can install a separate hot water tank and
fix the issue. We’ve been
delaying because of the cost. The
other big question was, if the coil is corroded and we’re not getting hot
water, will we have heat? Since we
have baseboard heating. Well folks
we turned on the heat tonight and IT WORKS!!!
That means we can get a separate hot water tank and get hot
water back in the taps without replacing the entire furnace. Hopefully in the next two weeks. I’m making it my project for Monday. It’s much less expensive to put in a
hot water tank, so we don’t have the expense of a new furnace using up out
funds we’re trying to earmark for the adoption.
I am so looking forward to a hot bath.
