Uh, so I think I have broken my department of defence gas heater....
On Thursday night I was leaning over it to see if the pilot light was going and I caught my cross in it. The cross was yanked separate from the chain....and into the heater. This is happened once before, also when my husband was away.
Last time I got my cousin in to help me dismantle it, but seeing how I know how he went about it I figure I can do it too. So next stop was to get my husband's toolkit out and take it apart. Eventually my cross fell out and some 1 and 2 cent coins (out of circulation for almost 20 years)...so that gives an indication of how old it is.
I managed to put it back together...sort of...... it is now a little wobly on one side. So on Friday night I get home from work freezing and turn it on, and proceed to give my Mum a ring. While chatting on the phone I smell smoke and see it coming out of my heater. Needless to say I turned it straight off. A phone call to the Defence repairs line and they are sending someone out to fix it this weekend.
So, it looks like I will spend the rest of the week camped out on the fan heater!
Oh no! I am glad they are sending someone to fix it for you!
ReplyDeleteIt took me a moment to remember we have opposite seasons - I was wondering what you needed heat for! Your husband is going to love your care package. Your biscuits - we would call them cookies - look teriffic!
