Had an eventful week this week. First we nearly lost the castle to fire when the furnace started on fire. I just happened to be down in the basement looking for a propane leak because our daughter said it smelled like propane in the house when I saw this. The dark spot was glowing red.
I found the exhaust plugged with soot. I got it cleaned and working properly again and had someone come out and look at it. They said what I expected, that it's ok for now but the burners are bad, so a new furnace is on the way. I did move up getting smoke and CO2 detectors from on the list to do it now tho.
After all that my brother came by yesterday and brought my new mower. It's an early 220 and has a mower deck, snow blower, sleeve hitch and one bottom plow.
After a little adjustment to the carb she runs real nice. I even had time to bring my grinder/mixer home and get it in the shed. Even ran a couple bushel of oats through it to clean it out. Works real nice too.
That was it for this weekend. Still have a little stuff to get home, 2 combines and a couple cultivators and wagons and such but will likely wait til it warms up and the frost goes out so it's not froze down.
