Heater room

The water heater and furnace sat together in a little cubby hole between the bathroom and the little room that nobody knew what to do with. The idea kept being batted around about what to do with this little space. The heating guys said that the furnace couldn't be moved so at first we were just going to replace it, then we decided it would be best to take out the wall that surrounded it. I happened to have Cort over helping out for the day and there was no way that I was going to pass up on the opportunity of using his muscles and willingness to volunteer.

He used the saws all and just cut right through the studs after we'd pulled off the outer wall. It came out in one big piece and we just took it right out to the dumpster. That was so much easier than hauling it out in buckets one stick at a time. I don't think that I've ever admitted that to Dave and Roger, it really wasn't me that day it was all Cort.

After a few more days of discussion the water heater came out and went into the dumpster. That was all Ben one morning early before school. I'm so grateful to be surrounded by men with muscles. The new water heater will be put into the utility room and the heater will replaced with a new one right where the old one stands.
