Okay, so it was more like the National Weather Service than some old crone with a crystal ball or a wizard with a Palantir, but still.
The rain was steady, hard at times, but nothing in the Forever Home leaks, which is good! It was the cold outside that was noticeable – it never even made it to 50ºF.
And yes, the heat in the house DOES work. Still not sure WHERE the furnace or heating equipment is, but fans turn on, warm(er) air comes out of the vents, and the temperature inside slowly creeps up a degree or two.
The other thing that I realize now is that there are three separate gas fireplaces, including one in the master bedroom and one in the living room. It’s not that I didn’t know they were there, and both of our two previous houses had them, but we never USED them. They’re there to hang Christmas decorations and Chiefs flags on! But we’ve tested all of the ones here and know they work – I guess in a pinch they’ll heat up a couple of rooms, right?
Yeah, I know. I’m a clueless doof. This is not news.
