    The colder the weather gets, Margaret, the more beautiful it will become!

    Ooooo. I LOVE that slate grey color. And that boxy, functional look…very chic. It goes perfectly with that cool concrete floor and hot water heater.

    As one of the proportionally few male readers, it looks like a fine unit, energy star(tm) and all!

    Of concern to me was: 1) the pipe that just terminates in the middle of the floor by the water heater. 2) it appears there is a slow drip from the water heater pressure relief valve onto the electrical wire below. The electrical wire appears to have some discoloration under the valve.

    I’m not a plumber, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night!

    It’s as beautiful as a furnace can be! Maybe you won’t need the coffee to warm you up – only to get you going . . .

    Oh absolutely beautiful – adds the perfect “warm atmosphere” that any woman could ask for… Why needs a new sofa anyways when you have such beauty buried in the basement? lol.

    Beautiful!

    We were without heat ONCE… it got down to 55 degrees in the house… and I realized what an incredible wimp I am.

    Rejoice in your nice warm house!!

    I agree with coffee mom – a warm house is a good thing. But I also think it makes your hair look awesome. πŸ™‚

    Oh,Margaret! Its beautiful! We just received the wonderful news (yesterday) that we get to do the same thing! / Until then, no heat for us, and here we are in SD!… After we get our new furnace installed, I’m thinking about escorting everyone who comes to our home to the basement to admire it – since it is taking the place of my new refrigerator and counter tops that I WAS hoping for… Oh well!

Hi there!

I’m Margaret in Minnesota, and this is my mom's-eye perspective of a kid-heavy life. I love the Lord; I take lots of photos; and I always try to tell it like it is, from sex to depression and everything in between! I hope you enjoy your time here. β™₯
