Hurricane Sandy

Yeah, our heating situation still is what it is, and so is Skippy the Wonder Landlord. Yesterday the heat was on nonstop, and the bedroom radiator valve kept spurting and leaking onto the carpet.

Skippy replaced the valve, and that stopped the spurting and leaking, but we didn't have any heat at all last night. He said something was wrong with the boiler. He needed to call the heating company. A couple of years ago, he had a minor stroke, which affected his ability to speak, so he dialed the number, and we/MDs spoke with the company.

The repairman came mid-morning. Turns out that there's a switch, similar to a lightswitch, at the head of the stairs going down to the basement. The heating switch is right above the lightswitch, and we think that Skippy had probably turned the heating switch off by accident.

So we have heat now. Sorry your heat situation is messed up. Hope it gets better soon.
