When my furnace died, it took nearly two weeks to get the new furnace and have it installed. I had some space heaters in the basement to keep my pipes from freezing. I also had a space heater in my bedroom. I didn’t mind living in my bedroom, as long as it was short term. I had a small apartment refrigerator in the bedroom, and the bathroom was attached. As long as I kept the door open, the bathroom helped keep the bedroom warm. I had electric heat in the bathroom, and I was wondering if it wouldn’t be better to have electric heat throughout the house. The price of electricity was going up, but it was still cheaper than the cost of heating fuel. I was sitting in my bedroom getting some work done when I heard the phone ringing. I ran into the living room and grabbed the phone. The HVAC company was calling to tell me the furnace would be delivered the following day. The HVAC technician wanted to come out and do the installation when the furnace was delivered. I thought this was an amazing idea. Although I loved my bedroom, I was tired of spending all my time in there. I wanted to cook, and not call for food all the time. I was running out of pin money, paying for all the takeout food. The first thing I was going to do after the furnace was delivered was spend some time in my kitchen cooking a meal. The second thing I was going to do once I had the furnace,was call my friend and invite him over.
