That might have been true had we not decided to sell the house just a few years later. As it is, it ended up being a oomplete waste of money.<BR/><BR/>In that same house, we had wall air conditioners installed at a big expense ... and years later, we installed central air, closed the holes, fixed the walls, etc.<BR/><BR/>When I think of the $$$ I spent that might have been avoided with a little foresight I can just cry.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1777372649479002037.post-48378057039811326982009-02-10T04:42:00.000-05:002009-02-10T04:42:00.000-05:00Baila-Oh God, that's awful.

One Friday Isaac went downstair to do it, pulled the lever to fill the boiler and left, forgetting to pull the lever back to turn it off. A half hour later Shabbat started. My daughter went down to the basement and ran upstairs to tell us their was lots of water in the basement. In addition the radiators in the house had begun filling up with water to. And the ceiling in the dining room started to bulge. We watched it anxiously for a few hours, it started to drip and looked like it was going to explode. We couldn't call anyone because it was Shabbat. Finally, I couldn't take it anymore, I took the end of a broom stick and jabbed it into the ceiling (which by now was very soft from the water), and gushes of water came cascading down into dining room. We cleaned that up and were able to go to sleep. That Shabbat, wouldn't you know it, we were having company. The ceiling had basically stopped leaking except for an occasional drip which landed on our friends Shai's head every coupla minutes.<BR/><BR/>Good times, good times.Bailahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14115498582378133552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1777372649479002037.post-35778881750936527582009-02-09T18:04:00.000-05:002009-02-09T18:04:00.000-05:00I told my mom what happened.
