FURNACE REPAIRS

Well here it is the furnace has been repaired and it only ended up costing us $150 not the original quote of $600-800. God does answer prayer. So we will send off the report to our insurance company and hope that they don't need or want anything else done. Now I can get back to concentrating on my Christmas shopping. It's just too bad I can't get the shopping done that cheap LOL

***GREAT NEWS ON THE FURNACE

In an earlier post I mentioned that we needed to get some repairs done to the furnace for the insurance company and we were first quoted $800 for the repairs with labor. Well you could only imagine what kind of mood that put me in...GRRR! Anyway we had another technician in tonight and he quoted us $150 with supplies and labor and said it wouldn't be a big job. What a difference. So my husband is making the arrangements with him as I sit here at the computer. Let's just hope this isn't one of those too good to be true moments. Yes he can do the work that cheap but the big question is will he be able to issue us the certificate that we need? I will keep my fingers crossed.

***FURNACE REPAIRS

O.k. so I am starting to see the problems with buying an older home. When we purchased the house we had two inspectors come inspect the house and everything was fine. We were told "hey nothing to worry about" and got the thumbs up. Well not to long ago we go a letter from our insurance company wanting some work done to the furnace by the first of November or they will cancel our home insurance with them until the work is done. The repairman came this morning and he said that we will be looking at at least $800 to get the work done and a certificate issued. Great timing, we are already struggling with getting the kids Christmas gifts now this...My husband has another repairman coming this evening to take a look to see what is involved with the repairs and he will do the work on the side from his job. Hopefully he will be able to do the work and save us some money. I am really hoping that Santa will be good to my kids this year! LOL
