Hot Water, Cold Snow

We got a tankless hot water heater installed this week very similar to the one we had in the NL. There, it not only gave us hot water but heated the house. Here, we have a separate furnace. Everything is more expensive here. There, the unit plus install was under 2500. Here, the unit plus a much more complicated install was 5500 this fall, but the company that gave us that quote has since then raised their prices to 8-10k. Hard to understand. Luckily I have a friend who is a plumber, so he recommended someone who did a great job for around 3000, but I did help him. Same price another friend was charged just to have a basic tank model swapped out. Sure is a relief to have that job wrapped up! 

The girls had a couple snow days this week, and we spent a lot of time at the ski hill. They just got back from a sleepover and my mom came up for a couple nights. Naomi and I had a really fancy dinner last night. I tried out some cross country skiing as well. Need to pick up a pair. 

We have a giant snowstorm on the way. An inch or two in at this point. It's supposed to go for 48 hours and drop a couple feet of snow. Very high winds as well. Hoping we can hold onto power again, but there will be a lot of outages. 


Beautiful day at the mountain.

Uh oh. Units switched from inches to feet.

It works!
