Furnace install, redux.

Except I don't think I specifically blogged anything about the install the day it happened. So, you know, enjoy the first time around! As usual, things didn't exactly go according to plan.

( The saga of the furnace installation )

In short, the inspection went as well as we could possibly have hoped. We may well have gotten the install guys in some trouble but honestly, I'm not too concerned about that. And there has been NO mention of us owing them any money, which is good because we aren't paying them 'til the job's done to our satisfaction.
