That feel when your heating stops working in the middle of the night

Last Halloween I got snowed in at a party with 20 other people.

A tree fell across the road and took down the power lines, shutting off the heat (electric), and preventing anyone from leaving the dead end street the house was on.

After a few hours of waiting around in the freezing house, we decided to chop up and burn all of the furniture in the fireplace.

It was a good time.

I remember that storm. Sucked hard, I spent a bunch of money on Halloween that year with the ROI of not being able to do anything because everyone lost power. No party, no fun, no Halloween pretty much.
 
Wheel the gas grill in and crack a door and a window.

Bt the way, there is usually a mesh strainer on the outlet of the circulation line running out of the boiler. If that gets clogged by deposits in the water, the boiler won't fire.
 
Got the chip board replacement today. The repair was $200 so it's all good now I can finally drop all the excessive clothes boooyaaaahhh

Tree knocks down power line. Connection broken. Power line dead. I get your point though, probably not worth going near power lines regardless.

Power line was live and arcing in the middle of the road, tree was smoldering.

It wasn't anything I was willing to go near.

Every year I read a few stories about guys getting electrocuted trying to sneak by downed power lines, and I've decided that I'm not going to go out THAT way if I can help it.

Besides, I secretly wanted to chop up and burn our host's furniture, and once I suggested it, it seemed like everybody else did too.
