at a loss

okay, so i have 5 minutes to write.

what should i write?

how about a home maintenance tip...

our house is heated by a single gas fireplace (it's a pretty small house).

lately, said gas fireplace has not been giving off very much heat, so said small house has been bloody freezing.

john did some digging, after vaccuuming the fan he pulled stuff apart and cleaned the guk which had cemented itself to various bits of the fan and grill.

the fireplace now works MUCH better.

so, if you have a gas fireplace that's not giving off as much heat as you'd like, check out where the fan is and give it a good cleaning, it might make the world of difference. likewise with a furnace, if it's not giving off as much heat as you'd like, check out the filter, it might be time for a new one.

and there boys and girls is your home maintanence tip for the day. done in 4 minutes, woo hoo! a minute to spare. *grin*
