Good, Better, Best

The Good

Thanks to a very energic puppy, we needed to replace a window in the front room. Since all the windows in the front room are painted shut with layers and layers of paint, this was a good thing.

The Better

Our hot water heater started leaking. I know you are thinking, that is not a "better" thing. But, when you have great neighbors who can give you a great deal and install it for you, it is a very "better" thing. We upgraded from 40 gallons to 50 gallons. No picture of the old one (I know, to bad) but, here is the new one.

The Best

Thanks to the same great neighbor, we also got a new furnace. Now, I think the old one was the original one that was put in some time in the 50's or 60's. We, not so affectionately, called it "The Monster". These pictures are great. It was so big the installers had to break it into a bunch of pieces. After they took it all out they found an old bike tire and shower head (with pipes still attached) behind it.

The new one is so pretty. Shiny, clean, and effecient!

We gained about 2 feet of space. We are green stickered and up to code. It feels so good to do something for/to the house.
