Yeah GCP, she said the house got down to 50° both nights but they had electric blankets and a couple space heaters. Said it was chilly but she refused to pay for an emergency house call on the weekend. Saved a few hundred bucks for us.

Now that is a good wife . we have a wood stove , haven't had the furnace on since that cold snap in January I made sure it worked and had oil before I went hunting last fall.

Introduced too much oil into a hot chamber and dropped the ignitor. There's no hiding the boom.
