Got up this morning to take a shower and no hot water.. went downstairs to look at the tankless .. looked fine.. unplugged power plugged back in reset the thermostat. Went outside in my PJ's -24* venting wasn't iced or covered by snow.. Still no hot water. New house just over a year old.. So far the gas Fireplace, Furnace and now waterheater have all crapped out.. WTH???

Went down and checked the furnace. Trane high tech ,high effiency gas furnace. Running cycling etc except none of the burn chambers were .. burning. Turned it on and off (Don't laugh, This has worked in the past) Didn't this time.

Thought about calling the service guys between shivers. On a flier went outside to check the intake air pipe.. its by the driveway.

Yup. Snowplow guy had plowed show covering up the intake. No air no flame apparently. Smart or dumb depending on your perspective, furnace. Dug it out (its minus 9 here today).

Heat came on.... and I couldn't get back to sleep.

We have 6-7 electric heaters stored in the bedroom closets that we pull out when "the high tech furnace" doesnt work. I never remember my parents old school furnace ever not working. This thing seems to have much more maint/operating issues.

Not that it will lessen the chillyness, but sending warm thoughts your way!!!

Perfect Dave!

Glad you got the furnace figured out, too cold for that kind of day.

My working days normally start around 0530 which is usually about 30 minutes after I crawl out of bed, brush my teeth and take care of certain other bodily functions.

Here's what I do: Pour a glass of orange juice and a cup of coffee. Check email. Check the Asylum. Check the news. Check the Asylum. Print any incoming email pertaining to work. Check the Asylum. Pour more coffee. On days where I really must work, start work. Check the Asylum.

Break for lunch. Check the Asylum. Finish any work on the daily schedule. Decide what cigar to smoke.

Smoke the cigar.

It's tough being self employed.

Well the power vent froze somewhere in the middle. If I would have had time to take it apart and or call tech support I could have saved a service call and $$ but oh well what can you do?
