FFS, continued

so once the furnace person left yesterday the furnace refused to work.

turns out the humidifier was dripping into the furnace and causing it to short out the thermostat.  so another hour long visit and $70+ tax later, the furnace is working.

so for now, the humidifier is not hooked up and the digital thermostat is completely burnt out.

the fil is going to shit because the humidifier was his baby.  he installed it and then every visit since the installation, he has been either inquiring after the humidifier or going downstairs to check on it. 

since it's installation, it has flooded our basement once and this time around has shorted the thermostat.  ch has declared that we will not use it and will leave it be.  let's just see how the fil takes that.  he wont.  he will insist we need one for our climate and insist on going in to fix it.  in the meantime his interference is beginning to cost us a lot of money. 

and do you think it will be ch telling his father that we dont want a humidifier??  think again.  that one will be all on me.

just cant wait.
