Once Again, 'They' Have Failed Me
Comments (2)I love that cartoon! I was just reading about the history of computers today, and hadn't realized how far we'd come since the fifties. Sorry your farming is wearing you out. A flying car sounds doable. We have dishwashers, microwaves and roomba vacuums nowadays, so maybe robot butlers will happen. But chickens aren't ever going to do just what we want, and the weather is what it is....See MoreHot Water Heat Fails Again
Comments (15)I've just found the original paperwork for when this company instlled the boiler. It was 2003, so it's only FIVE years old, not seven. I also found a PM sheet from 2005 where that tech replaced the thermocouple. (Charge is $23 for the part, BTW.) Wednesday's bleed did NOT change anything. By Wednesday night/early Thursday morning the temp was back down to 62F, which is the forced air temp night setting. I was able to use googe's istructions of setting the thermostat down to 66F, then back up to 68F, and the boiler heat rose to 68F and stayed there last night into this morning. Now working fine -- staying at 68F. (Well, I think it is working fine; hard to say since 68F is also our normal forced air setting.) We're enjoying a foot of snow today. I've asked HVAC company to call me when they can come out again to try again. I've suggested what googe mentioned, that the mixing valve may need to be recalibrated. I'm at least able to 'make' this work, and it isn't our primary heat, so I'll play along and see what else this company can do as long as I'm not being charged and MORE for it. I've now nearly paid twice for this darn boiler: $900 in 2003 + $700+ now....See MoreMSNBC's weekly news quiz (I failed . . . again)

Comments (17)My electric utility started installing smart meters a couple years ago. There has been some rate payer resistance, and the local news has done some spots on it. I was one of the first customers to receive the new meter, and it has performed flawlessly. I was told by the installer that initially they will be read from the street, but when the system is completed they will communicate with the utility through the homeowners wifi or use satellite. The system will be monitored 24/7/365, no need to call to report problems. This from a co-op in the TN boonies. They are also looking into providing internet via their electric grid. If they do, they may sound the death knell for our local phone co-op....See MoreJay 6a Chicago
