At long last, we have reached Friday. It’s been a struggle, that’s for sure. Expensive, too, what with my having to buy an ignitor for one pellet stove, and a pump for my hot water heat. The pump didn’t ship until yesterday, but it’s on the truck for delivery this morning, which is pretty nifty. It left Uniondale on Long Island at 10:00 last night, got to Latham (which is basically Albany – not that anybody cares, I know) at 2:13, left Latham at 4:00, got to Syracuse at 6:30 and was out for delivery at 7:17. All for $18.
I gotta say, that UPS has quite a system going for it. This means I can put the pump in tomorrow. It’s not absolutely urgent, but just in case it gets down below zero or something for a few days, I want to be able to circulate the water. It’s a good thing I replaced the domestic HW heat exchanger with an electric water heater, though. Otherwise, we’d have had no hot water. I am not a happy camper without a shower.
