Alls well that ends well!<br /><br />Hang in there with school. It's a real test of endurance, but it will be worth it once you've finished the course.

We switched from electric to propane. The guys who installed the new heater just put a vent pipe to the outside on it. When the weather turned cold, the air outside was denser than the air in the basement. That caused a reverse flow, and when the water heater came on, the whole house instantly flooded with carbon monoxide.If we hadn't had multiple detectors throughout the house, all of which went off, we'd all have been dead. I had an electric fan fitted to come on and force the air out of the house through the vent after that.<br /><br />You've got a good husband there. You two work as a unit, and that's good.<br /><br />Congratulations on struggling through the education system. I had some experience of that in the late 80's, and I hated it. But once your goal is accomplished, it will all be worth it.Harry Flashmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05071021900005041592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6328627690893579421.post-71305449139183141452017-02-28T00:33:12.691+00:002017-02-28T00:33:12.691+00:00Kirsty - if you were closer i could babysit the ki...Kirsty - if you were closer i could babysit the kids, jambaloney could put them to work shovelling snow, james could work on the house and you could study. i promise i would feed ther kids only good, organic foods that were ok'ed by you and james. and you would not have to feel so guilty.<br /><br />your kids are growing up in a lovely environment - i love how you and kev alviti are raising your kids - it gives me hope for the world. please stop feeling bad and realize that you are showing your kids what hard work is all about - both you and james are showing them!<br /><br />please be tender with yourself and james - it will drip off onto the children if you both take care of each other! i send you much love and support...and know how hard you and james are working! your friend,<br />kymber kymberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02607117635648274823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6328627690893579421.post-77152615280618730652017-02-27T21:20:11.605+00:002017-02-27T21:20:11.605+00:00Man you were lucky with that flue pipe, doesn'...Man you were lucky with that flue pipe, doesn't bare thinking about what could have happened!
