Bump in the Night

Woke up at 4:00 this morning to a ticking sound. "What the hell is that?" I asked myself. Since I didn't answer, I got up to investigate. Turned out the (brand new) furnace had sprung a leak. Water dripped onto the electronic control, causing it to short circuit & go into overdrive. The ticking sound was steam percolating through the radiators. This was not a good thing. Neither was the small lake forming in the middle of my house.

Cut the power, called the service company, listened to the horible rumbling as the pressure relief valve let go, blah blah blah, yadda yadda yadda.

All better now. Thank god for lifetime warranties.
