-37 deg. Celcius and NO FURNACE......

Well, it's been interesting, to say the least. Our funace wasn't working yesterday morning and the repairman had to shut off the furnace until he can install a brand new one. We have been blowing breakers with portable heaters trying to keep all the pipes above freezing and keeping us warm. We have to turn off a heater to turn something else, like the washing machine, on.

The temperature went to -37 deg. C. on our deck early this morning and was 14 deg.C. (58 F.) in the house before turning on the oven to warm it up. Thank goodness the sun is shining brightly and we have passive solar heat through our windows.

The problem is the repairman can't come till the Dec 24th!!! Hopefully we can celebrate xmas eve being warm. I have to get a painting finished but I'm so tired after running up and down stairs and into the sub-basement to check the pipes that I'll have to sleep before painting today.

Cross your fingers and maybe Santa will send me a furnace repairman as an early present! :)
