December

Things that you realize about December when living in the snow belt,

shoveling is needed way to much

raking the roof is not as much fun as it looks.

Sunday marked the first day of winter and we already have over a foot and a half of snow here,(what the hell) we have a 5 foot hill in the back from the snow off the roof for the kids to sled on. (not kidding it is up to my shoulder)

it seams to be a tradition now for are thermocouple to go out any were from 10pm to 2am in the morn, after winter starts what is a thermocouple you ask it is the little part that lets are boiler know there is a poilet flam and it is lit, a little peace of copper sits in front of the flame and it runs to the censer. it has gone out every winter now that I think of it, from the time we moved up here.

this year was no different it was about 10 out side and the thermocouple went out. this time it was my uncle that came throw for us he had one that was shorter then needed for a fix, but it did work for a jury rig for the night.

so this year i bought two of the 10 dollar parts one for now and one for when the little bastard besides to go out again. (wich it will not so now that i have a spare)

so all in all things are good just need to keep working to keep every thing at bay.




it is a easy 5 min fix if you have the 10 doller part problem is no one is open around here after 10. every year it is the same thing, call the parints and and they call around to any one they can think of.
