So my wife and I historically "go dutch" on home improvement projects and other
expenditures. We were sweating out the home heating oil prices last week and
managed to buy a tankfull before another price hike but still the costs are
phenomenal. She's into the stock market and was waffleing between two oil
companies to take advantage of pricing. Anyhow, I casually said that something
that should be taken care of, as we both are facing a fixed income is that, our
boiler is ancient and has potential for failure. I said that new boilers are
expensive but they are much more efficient... I told her that I priced a unit
and installation and that it was probably our next "project". Well she has
Scots / Jewish heritage and this was like foreplay to her. She's scheduled for
a contractor to come out this week to give us an estimate. Heck I was thinking
like several months so I could accumulate more money but... winter's coming!
