We woke up this morning to a very cold house.? When we were finally able to check the temperature we found it was 42 degrees F.? Wow, that is cold for the inside of a house!
That was enough for Kathy so she decided that we were moving operations over to her folks house till power came on at our house.? It took about an hour to pack up and get the house closed up.? We also left our number with a couple of neighbors so they could call us when the power came back on.? We got to Kathy’s folks house and unloaded the car and I unpacked my computer and was pirating an internet signal when we got the call…
…power was back on!? Isn’t that how it always goes?!?!
Well, I got back to the house and turned it back on (we turned the master off so that any power surges wouldn’t blow anything when the power came back on).? I made sure the furnace came back on and that the other stuff worked (phone, internet, lights, alarm,…) then went back to get the family.
Now we are back and the house is almost back to warm normal.? Kathy is taking a shower and I get to go next.? The boys are watching some TV and everything is good!
I’m going to have to get a better fireplace insert and maybe a generator so we can do better for the next time anything like this happens but that will have to wait till Monday.
