EnviroHeat did the boiler install here and they’re the only company that can purchase parts for it or is certified to work on it that’s located in our area.
The first time the boiler overheated, they came that afternoon. When the same thing happened again, they ghosted me. It was 4 days before I got a response from my voice messages… and it was by text. Two days in a row they promised to show up and didn’t. So Perry and I watched YouTube videos and consulted ChatGPT and now…
There’s fire in the hole!
Dude SAID he checked the water level, but he couldn’t have because the sight thing has been broken since November.
We filled it with water and bled the lines. Estimating water flow time and the size of the hose, a conservative estimate is that we added around 170 gallons. It only holds 393 gallons, so it’s no surprise that was a big problem. With the snowmageddon that is to hit this weekend, it’s sort of a big deal to have heat. It worked fine… then just before midnight, it got too hot again. ARG!
That’s when Perry noticed the new rope EnviroHeat put on the door wasn’t even in place. Of course, fire getting too much air will cause it to get too hot.
Thanks for NOTHING EnviroHeat! 🤬
Hopefully, we’re now set for what’s coming our way…
We’re as ready as we’re going to get here at the barndo.
Perry’s on vacation before starting his new job late next week; we have full gas cans for the generator in case we need it; and I made a grocery run yesterday for us and the Pesky Neighbors. Ben will be staying in a hotel for 2 nights courtesy of his employer, and Katie works at Dollywood and is staying at the resort over the weekend. Tennessee’s governor declared a state of emergency ahead of the storm, as did North Carolina.
Of course, all this means I’ll be sharing snow photos over the weekend, and in the meantime, check out last night’s view:
My hope…
My hope is that we get all snow and no ice, and that we all stay warm. I also hope that you have milk, eggs, and bread — along with toilet paper and coffee — and all pets are inside for the duration of the bad weather.
Now you know: In the 1950s, full length commercials were banned from US television, but were brought back in 1984 when the FCC rescinded the ban. By 1994, an estimated 91% of all TV stations were airing infomercials.
