Heating Update

A couple of days after I had gotten all the radiators uncovered, I went to turn on the heat. A couple of radiators made the effort to come on, but most stayed cold. I thought it might have something to do with the thermostat, but none of my fiddling with it helped.

I didn't have a chance to talk to the property owner before the weekend arrived, and we toughed it out for the weekend. Luckily on Monday the property owner had a plumbing guy there to fix the upstairs heat which was also broken. About half an hour after the plumber left our apartment was toasty warm. We are all happy.

On the unpacking scene - I am getting castoffs ready to bring to a friend for a sale to benefit homeless animals. That same friend and I have a "date" at Ikea in early November to get the bookcase that another friend has offered to help build. I will give my friend the items when I see her! I think she will be leaving with 5-6 boxes from me!
