AFTER
It's lightning outside, and our windows are open. We're waiting for the oil boiler folks to come back. They're supposed to be here between 10PM and 1AM.
The water gauge, indicating how much water is in the system (the pipes and radiators) is never supposed to show full, because we have steam heat. There's supposed to be water enough to make steam, but not water enough to fill the pipes and leak from the radiators onto hardwood floors. This evening it showed full.
We let the water run through the boiler, as we're supposed to do every other week during the cold months -- to release sediment from the pipes -- and it's showing at 9/10ths full at the moment.

The electrical box is very exciting ... though the fear of an electrical fire must have induced a certain level of excitement. Does anyone else find it strange that there are so few pictures of the esteemed home occupants? Is this all a ruse? What would restore confidence? Perhaps a picture by a notable Providence landmark holding the day's newspaper? Food for thought ... Susan
Hee hee! Thanks for the comment!
We've thought about this, too. As it turns out, Sue's job and hobbies require a level of anonymity. We do, however, have some pictures of ourselves, which we'd be happy to send to trusted readers (especially in the case there are lingering doubts we're actually living and working in the lovely Renaissance City!).
