Tuesday this week was a mini day of reckoning. Would the new appliance show up as the email promised, and work? This may be the biggest appliance I've bought on the web, sight unseen (but for pictures).
How about the furnace? Letting an oil furnace run out of fuel (my bad) puts air or worse in the line, making a restart difficult sometimes.
One ends up phoning a technician. The technician usually does a hard sell on rebuilding the whole furnace. Should I convert the house to gas? Not an option at the moment.
The new Samsung dishwasher appears up to the task. The guys who put it in clearly have their choreography down. Efficient.
The furnace wouldn't come on at first. The fuel line from under the driveway is quite long. I kept at it, pressing the red button at long intervals, and finally, ignition. The line was cleared.
I'm back to keeping the household running smoothly, for a 62 and almost 92 year old, during a pandemic. Many thanks to my friends who help out in so many ways.
