Ugh.
Crokinole was great. Played until 2AM. Laughed a ton. Needed more food, though.
However...furnace install is another story. We were buying a 2 stage 95% efficency furnace, and the dorkwad salesguy messed up and didn't realize that we couldn't run the exhaust out through the side of the house, and the only way we could get it to work would be to run it through the back of the house. Most direct line would be through our downstairs bathroom and shower. Ugh. While the bathroom and shower doesn't get much use, it's a nice feature for when we do need to use it.
So, call to the salesman, negotiations, they have an 80% efficiency furnace they can install and run up the chimney flue for the exhaust. Grumble, grumble...but OK, if that's what we have to do, do it. So the installers run off to grab something to eat, while we wait for the new furnace.
Five o'clock runs around, and still no new furnace. Installers call warehouse, ask where it is, the warehouse manager says "What furnace?" Apparently sales guy did not call in the order.
So, installers drive to the south side of the city and pick up a new furnace, in the middle of rush hour, and get back here around 8. Start the install and finally give up around 10 last night, assuring us that we would see either them or another installer here to finish up the job by noon.
It's 11:45. Still no installers. Fortunately it's a mild day, so sweatshirts are keeping us warm enough. But we aren't real pleased with the way this went down.

Still, I foresee a satisfactory conclusion to this story....
