The furnace guys are here right now installing a new furnace. We're getting a nicer model than what we ordered for the same price as the one we ordered. We'll also be getting a $350 rebate from Puget Sound Energy and I think another rebate on top of that as well. So we'll save a lot of money on the furnace. Plus, it'll pay for itself in 4-5 years with what we'll save on our gas bill (our gas bill is still ridiculously high despite replacing the windows...probably because the old furnace was only working at 60% efficiency).

The good news is, we didn't die from carbon monoxide poisoning. There was a good chance it might have happened if Lance hadn't called someone for routine service. And maybe my headaches will stop now.

We had to cancel our weekend plans. No Olympic Peninsula for us. *sigh* Two anniversaries in a row that we had to cancel plans due to a major house expense. We will go out to dinner instead. Lance told me I could pick the restaurant. I think we'll be going to Claim Jumper. Nothing fancy, but the food is good and Lance hasn't been there yet.

dude, that is scary about the carbon monoxide. sucks about the unexpected expenditure but thank dog you are still alive, you know!!?!?

Yeah...I had hoped to put new flooring in the kitchen before replacing our furnace. But new flooring isn't a life-saving expense.

Nice that this will end up paying for itself in a few years, so it's worth the investment. The furnace guys told us we should save about $500 a year on our energy bill.

That's some scary stuff!! I remember back in our house in Chicago, the same thing happened. We were getting sick a lot and having lots of headaches. My mom called to have the furnace looked at and the guy said that we narrowly escaped death.

I'm glad that you guys got that taken care of! =O

Me too. I'm just sorry it depleted our bank account.
