While my husband was away on vacation with his brother I decided I wanted to complete some tasks that my friend and I had been putting off for a long time, thankfully my kid is honestly accomplished when it comes to property repairs & she was able to come in & help me with several of them… She helped me to install some new lighting fixtures & when doing so my friend and I realized that my friend and I would need to fix the plaster in several spots along the ceiling; One of the areas where my friend and I needed to do work was located directly above the wood stove & this meant I was not going to be able to use it to heat the house, however my buddy and I try to save currency each winter season by heating primarily with wood & this person I would have to turn on the boiler earlier than normal! I wasn’t looking forward to doing this because the cost of heating the house that way is significantly higher but I couldn’t burn wood in the stove while the plaster above it was drying or being sanded. My buddy and I worked all week to finish as several repairs as possible concentrated on the ceiling in the family room in order to be able to light a fire again. Thankfully my friend and I finished most of the projects before my husband returned property & he was pleasantly surprised because it took a lot off of his to-do list, however by the time he arrived property my friend and I had everything looking good & a fire going in the wood stove again. I was able to shut the boiler off & he never entirely knew it was on to begin with. I’m sure he will realize it once he gets the gas bill this month.
