Hugs and love to you as well 💜

I like the echo chamber idea! Slam dunk that one!

Aww, that really sucks. Poor doggo. I'm sure it was a Very Good Dog.

I have a few... one is even in the basement! (And I tested it with the plumber. It does work.) I think my basement is just drafty. Thank goodness for that! So, not enough usage to create a ton of CO, and not enough has accumulated at one time to set it off, but I'm still replacing the whole thing.

Ehhh shit. And that can't feel good to hear about from afar, either. Not much you can do, either!

The tank is just over 10 years old anyway, though, so... better to just get a new one that's safer with the power venting feature and call it a day. I'll let you know if it craps out in the meantime, though!!

Damned of it is, the tank is technically still working! But the vent (through chimney) apparently is not, so it's dispersing the CO into my basement. 😬😬😬

I guess the older the house gets, the more likely the chimney will deteriorate, so even if they clear it out, it's likely to get clogged again

Not my jam, but also doesn't hurt to try it 🤣

😯😯😯

Zoinks! I think he was trying to talk to me about parts and/or the lifespan of it (he was talking about both, long story). Catastrophic failure sounds, uh... pretty bad?

Lol, right? It was my dad, and I think that part was when he was trying to tell me how to figure out the warranty timeline on it, but I'm pretty sure I'm past that now.

Only time I file one in that situation is if I snag it... but I would try to keep it down and to a minimum. And I wouldn't clip. So gross.

I think I'm opening neither of them, mostly. But, yeah, agreed.

Very cool!

Yw! I feel like I ask you that every year bc I always think I have it wrong.
