The new furnace we ordered from amazon.com came on the day we were told it would and it was in great shape. Mark was amazed that all the connections and such were included, we had nothing else we needed to purchase. And it’s hard to believe but it was a relatively easy install; insert and connect. Of course there is always some wrestling involved when trying to put a rectangular piece into a diagonal area.
Once the furnace was connected we turned off the a/c and turned on the furnace to see how it ran. Wow, what a difference a new furnace made compared to one that was 15 years old and falling apart. We should find that we use less propane since it runs correctly and now pushes more air than the old leaky one did.
After a few days of the install, Mark rebuilt the cabinet with the same pieces and he did a great job too. At first he thought he would have to replace pieces with new. But he got it all done with no new parts and it looks very nice. I think he even amazes himself sometimes.
Since the install, the furnace has had to run all but one night. Yes the nights get cool, like in the low to mid fifties. And living in a trailer that means it gets chilly inside. It's crazy here, a/c during the day and furnace at night. But that is fall in Nevada for ya. Ha, Minnesota has days like that from time to time too.
This week has been a hot one with Mark spending the afternoons in the pool. He is a fish and loves the water, Me, I prefer dry land with a good book and my recliner. Even though it gets hot these days, the lack of humidity make a walk with Lola tolerable. And she loves to go for the walks and I need all the walking I can get.
Two more weeks here and then off to Yuma, AZ where we will spend 4 months before traveling to other states we have not been to.
Until next time,
As always, it’s an adventure.
