Heat Glorious Heat!

My good and dear friends, Colin Fell and his sister Susan Walkinshaw's mother had recently passed; her home had been sold, and the new owner plans to demolish the small home. Two years ago, they had replaced the furnace. They were kind enough to offer it to us and that same day our old furnace stopped working.

Until I watched one layer after another be uncovered under the skin of the old furnace I wasn't aware of what a big job it actually was. Taking out the old furnace which ran originally on coal, was converted to oil, and finally to natural gas, took 3 strong young men over 3 hours to dismantle. The furnace remains filled the back of the company's cube van, not including the dried remains of three small birds.

So now we saved this perfectly good furnace from being recycled, as well as added a much more efficient heating system to our little home. This adventure took two days. Out with the original heater, which the poor guys at Abbey Air had to uninstall and in with the new. Our carbon foot print just got a whole lot smaller, and the air is just that much fresher.
