Our new furnace is up and running. There were some problems with the installation, but the guy was able to do a temporary fix that should see us through till next week when the new parts will be here. There were actually two guys, one the owner and one an employee. I was impressed with their technical skill and work ethic, and would recommend them to anybody.
I found out why all the plumbing and heating people are so swamped with work these days. It seems they are still trying to catch up from last spring's lockdown. They were not allowed to do any new installations for a month, only emergency repairs. The reason it was only a month is that the construction trades, which were similarly affected, sued our governor over it. This was even before our legislature filed their own lawsuit. I don't think the construction suit ever got off the ground because Queen Gretchen graciously lifted their restrictions out of the goodness of her heart. The lawsuit had nothing to do with it. It does seem funny, though, that they haven't been ale to catch up a month's worth of work in the ensuing six months, but that's the story I got from one of the furnace guys.
