I was going to wait until it gets closer to Christmas. Plus, I haven't seen him at work so he probably took a few weeks off. And I go to that grocery store often.
But don't worry! I will do it soon... or maybe I should do it now. I don't know.

Interesting day. Getting new furnace installed and so far it's been a nightmare. They used a sawsall to cut it free as the foam they used in install it bonded to it.

Well, my request for a raise was approved so that's good. I'd probably be happy about it if I wasn't currently in the middle of a depressive episode. But somewhere deep down I'm fist-pumping lol
Finny stole what was left of my steak right off my plate and ran away with it after I left the room. He didn't eat it, because it was too tough for him (I have to cut up their soft raw pate into bite-sized pieces. I'd be impressed if he could rip a chunk off a steak lol). Little stinker.

And when you need one and DON'T have one, it's a really, really bad emergency!

all the BEST of luck to you with that install!@showmeyourkitties EXCELLENT! Congratulations to you and may it help! As for that steak, well, I hope Finny got satisfaction out of pilfering it, anyway.

I want one with a heated seat. I'm tired of freezing my butt in the middle of winter.
That thing is cold at 2 am in winter.
Don’t I know. In my old house I only had one bathroom and it was in desperate need of a remodel. So the plan was to take the toilet out while we worked during the day and bring it back at night and get through the four or five day reno that way. Except that I dropped and cracked the toilet on day two. So it was a bucket in the basement til the new toilet went in.
You can get a heated bidet toilet seat for a reasonable price, especially if you find the right sale. Well worth it! Heated seat and warm water.

Heated seat sounds good but i wouldn't be able to wait lol.
The new furnace is in and the stink from it breaking in is not too bad. They told me it would smoke when first running it. The factory puts a thin coat of oil on it to keep it from rusting. it was warm enough for Bee to poke around out back. Daddy snowblowed her a path to eat grass.
Then the guys went on the roof and installed the sleeve extension because every storm of 10 or more inches I had to go up and clear it. Now it can snow all it wants.

The security of a new furnace is also a wonderful thing. Expensive, but wonderful.
They're always heated. You don't have to wait for it to warm up.

All of us who live, or ever have lived, in snow country sure understand that! And as for that toilet,

this is what I was dreading yesterday and before with my ca. 1931 toilet! The other one is fine, but my roomie-to-be wants to tear her fancy Japanese toilet out and put it in here, where the good one is. I had to say no because I envisioned something like that happening, and because the master bath has vintage ceramic tile which cannot be bought or replaced if anything happens in the process. Her toilet has heated seat, bidet, and all the bells and whistles (if you aren't familiar with top-of-the-line Asian toilets, you may like to see:You Probably Need This Incredible Japanese Wonder Toilet *Apologizing in advance for any offense!*
I'm wondering if I'll ever see Cooper and Shadow again
You certainly will

I had no choice...the heat exchanger is cracked and the heat shield has burned too much that it would be a hazard in a month if I didn't take care of it. The price was a bit high I thought and it didn't look too complicated to install, (I've rebuilt carburetors in my younger years) but it was nice to sit back and work on my puzzle while they deal with the hassle. And of course the roof extension was something we'd been wanting to do...the prior company quote me 800 bucks for a simple galvanized steel sleeve that sits on the chimney and then screw the cap onto the top of the sleeves..they must have figure that I'd be too stupid to know the difference between steel and gold lol. I told the guy for 800 bucks, that sucker better have diamonds in it.
The funny thing is Lilah hung out with us here in the living room. She did run off when one of the men walked in but she came right back out. The sawsall didn't even scare her. She was like oh ok and just layed down on the couch.
I had Bee in her bedroom and she stayed in her cat house. I checked in on her a few times...she was just sleeping...glad it's done with.
Yes

improvement in the house is always a good thing and yes sometimes it's best not to mess with things so it won't break..the old motto...if it's not broken, leave it alone.
I always wished my dad would teach me about methanics. He used to fix his own cars (before everything was computerized) and plumbing and you-name-it.I had no choice...the heat exchanger is cracked and the heat shield has burned too much that it would be a hazard in a month if I didn't take care of it.

Good on ya for calling that guy's bluff. I actually asked plumbers I had if their astronomical prices were contingent upon my gender and the guy just about swallowed his wrench before stammering, "N-no!" Guess he forgot how to pronounce "yes."
And yeah, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
AmenYou certainly will

, that Japanese toilet seat is a wonder for sure. Looked at several models on Amazon and while I definitely can’t afford one now, it may be on my list for next year, after the financial pain of my bathroom remodel diminishes.- Status
