A quick update to the furnace thing (for those who care… which probobly isn’t you).

I called the phone numbers that the manufacturer’s website showed for service only to find out that they were wholesale only. Fortunately, the second one I called was kind enough to tell me that they had the part in stock and gave me the phone number of a dealer who would sell it to me.

I called that dealer and he said he would call me back with a price. 10 minutes later, he did just that…

$459

OMFG!!! *gasp*

It’s a fucking plastic body with a small electric fan! Bejesus!

Thank God Al Gore invented the internet! I told him that I found it online for $258.23. After a few seconds, the guy said he’d match that price, plus tax if I gave him the url. I guess you’re not supposed to sell online at wholesale prices. (whatever)

So, long story even longer, It’s fixed.
