Ruth Ann from Shaver came through...and she is the book keeper! Those other boneheads there should take lessons from her on customer service etc.
So it's a bit wet out today, we dodged the bullet with a nasty snow storm, it's all going north of us. WHEW!
I had to "special order" a five inch brush for the flue from a fire place shop here. It came in yesterday as well, but for the fact that the rain is lightly falling, I will have to save that chore for another day, and it ain't getting no warmer up here. :-(
So sometime today, I will shut the power down on the furnace and pull off the existing motor. Since the brain at Shaver that did the welding on this furnace couldn't weld the flange on straight NOR get the holes for the blower centered, I will have to "slot" the exiting holes in the new blower motor flange to get that motor to sit straight up and down so that when the damper "does" close down, it closes all the way and does not close and leave a 1/4" gap on the bottom. The existing motor in tilted to the left.
I do believe this next Spring, I'll have a friend come over with his welder, and see about lopping that flange off and have him weld a new flange on so that I can mount the blower in a horizontal manner, so that when the damper closes...it closes in a more positive manner.
So, "hopefully" my excessive wood burning will be slowing way down after I get this damper on. Next is to get the Ranco installed and wired.
