The second floor of my modest home is a nicely redone attic. The previous owner did most of the work himself, and the space is comfortable and cozy. Instead of bringing central heat up from the basement, which would have been much more costly, the heat is provided by an in-the-wall electric heater.
Well, early last fall, the heater stopped working. Initially, I investigated the feasibility of connecting to the furnace and/or installing central air conditioning, etc. After speaking with a couple of contractors, I decided it wasn't worth the investment right now, so I'd just get the wall heater fixed. Only, I kept putting it off. Throughout this winter, my upstairs has not had heat. Throw a couple extra blankets on the bed and its perfectly comfortable for sleeping, if a bit chilly getting ready in the morning. During our big Arctic Blast around Christmas, I just used the downstairs guest room. Why did I put off fixing the heater? Because I kept forgetting to call a handyman -- the only time I'd think about it was when I was getting ready to pack it in for the night. So, five or six months later, I finally arranged to have an electrician come by today... he was here for approximately 5 minutes.
Seems the "reset" button needed pressing.
Oy.

Well, was he at least cute?
I cannot begin to tell you how proud we are of you. How is your computer doing?
the ex would have wanted to use super glue to fix the problem... you are ahead of the game in my book!
That is so awesome! Hopefully, it meant that your NW Natural bill was significantly lower than mine!
Oh, I have had a few of those...good humor for today though..thanks!
