We've had boilers getting overworked, filters plugged on furnaces, and a gas regulator that went bad on another one.

The exhaust from gas furnaces can be run through an exhaust flue that can be as narrow as eight inches in diameter.

There's another one. It's supposed to be colder tonight. With this north wind blowing, it's getting into unprotected areas. That cold air is finding its way into every little crack and crevice.

How much does one imagine, how much observe? One can no more separate those functions than divide light from air, or wetness from water.

Phrases like 'overworked and underpaid' perpetuate that feeling.

[So was it all those trips to the regulator that convinced him the Wharf is bearable?] I think it's a wonderful development, ... but there's no connection of that sort. It's just a business decision.
