My husband thinks that our heating system has a leak. The system is pulling in fresh water, which it would only need to do if water were leaving the system. We don’t see any puddles or water stains on the walls. That suggests that the leak is in a section of pipe that runs under or through the foundation. There used to be several sections like that, but my husband fixed all but the one that lies below our front entrance. We knew it would need to be fixed eventually. I guess the day has finally arrived to deal with it. It’s just a nuisance in many ways, the most obvious and immediate being that for the moment we cannot run the heat in that zone (which encompasses all of the downstairs except the great room). We do, however, have two working zones plus two electric space heaters and a fireplace, so we will not freeze to death. Any problem that doesn’t result in death seems like a very manageable thing to me these days.

You can’t really spare anyone anything . . . . Things always have to be faced sooner or later. And therefore it had better be sooner.

It’s good to have perspective, but it’s less good to have leaks. I hope Mr. Chick is able to fix it soon.
