I really cannot suppose that I waited this long to buy a furnace.
- What was I thinking? When I first moved into this house, there was no furnace in the house.
In fact, there were no appliances at all. There wasn’t even an electrical panel to hook a furnace up to. Since I was buying the modern home as a fixer-upper, I got a great deal on the modern home since it had no furnace, and I immediately began repairing a ton of stuff within the house. Since there was so much to do, the furnace absolutely ended up pretty far down the list. I guess that the furnace might seem to be the most important appliance in your house, but when you do not have running water or electricity, you will realize that a furnace is not important at that point. Besides, if you do not have a furnace, that does not mean that you cannot heat your house. Without a furnace, I just had to get creative with the ways that I heated our house! One of the things that I did to heat our modern home properly was to make sure that I had a ton of smaller furnaces. I had a large assortment of electric space heaters, propane heaters, and kerosene heaters. Sure, these furnaces might be considered unsafe compared to a furnace, but when compared to trying to survive without a furnace, these furnaces start to look good. I used these space furnaces for 6 years before I was finally able to purchase a furnace for our house. I was used to not having a furnace, but after having a furnace for a few weeks, I realized what I had been missing. I really should have bumped the furnace project higher on the list.
