Made it through another subzero night

[dreamshark]

And Richard only had to reset the furnace twice. This morning when I got up the radiators were hot and the dining room temp at 71, so I didn't even bother limping down to the basement to check the status. It's better not to hover over the thing anyway. Catching it stuttering and retryng in mid-cycle is distressing, but it's not helpful to interrupt it at that point. Most of the time it apparently recovers and runs smoothly for 1-2 hours before encountering another crisis. I can relate - that's about how my typical night's sleep goes.

ETA: Apparently Thorin also did a reset at about 5 am, so that's 3 resets in the course of 6 hours - not a great record. But now that it's (barely) above zero, it's tootling along okay, and the house is actually slightly uncomfortably warm. Trying to keep it as warm as possible for the runup to another subzero night.

Sounds like lots of fun. Good luck with your jaw-droppingly expensive replacement part tomorrow.

It won't be quite so cold tonight, so I hope the furnace will persevere. And as above, good luck tomorrow. P.

I am glad you have this stumble-through option.
