So we noticed our heater was starting to make a lot of noise and began vibrating the floors and walls in the house. We knew we needed to get it checked out. Well early Monday morning (2:20am) I woke up and noticed a new strange noise it started to make. Come to find out the fan busted. Kenney disassembled the whole housing unit hoping we could get it fixed quicker and easier. By 4:30 we were back in bed with extra blankets on everyone. The next day we called the heating people and hoped to get a part in before Christmas, and I took the kids to Childress so we could be warm. The part got ordered; now we just had to hope it got in and they would be able to install the new fan. Late Tuesday we found out the fan was installed. I picked up the fan and brought it home expecting us to have heat that night. Kenney put the housing unit back in, hooked up all the wires, and it wouldn't turn on!! UGH!!!! Then he noticed it was missing a 3amp fuse. One little fuse!! Somehow it had been pulled out. Of course all the stores in Wellington were closed, and the Dollar Store didn't have one. So we were stuck without heat once again. Before falling asleep Kenney noticed some of our friends had a rough week too and got a stomach bug on top of all the other bad things that happened to them. He said, "I would much rather be cold than be throwing up!" Well little did he know that at 2:20am (a horrible time I've decided) Radley would start throwing up!! You have got to be kidding me!! So now we had no heat and the stomach bug!!! Thankfully only Radley and Kyler have thrown up and Kenney was able to find a fuse Wednesday morning here in town! We now have a working heater and (fingers crossed) a healthy family!
Damon said he wasn't feeling good, so he fell asleep with his head in a bowl, just in case.
Radley fell off the couch and hit a table giving him quite the goose egg!
It swelled up so fast!
The night a really bad cold front came blowing in, the condensation on our windows froze. There was solid ice on the inside of our windows when the heater was working!!
We've spent a lot of time looking at these wires lately!!
See that purple fuse with a "3" on it?? that was not there when we got the heater back from the repairman! That one little $.75 part kept us cold for one more night!!
This has nothing to do with the rest of the post, but here his what Daddy does to try and keep this girl happy at church! She has become quite the handful during church. We'll do what ever works!
