or my house's crawl space shrunk..hmmm...it could happen.

at the end of winter, i inspected my ancient heater. it is basically a gas radiant heater in the middle of my home. a campfire in the same place would be just as effective..

anyways, the exhaust was rusted through!! i went back down today, with a bin and some tools and hauled out the parts. more damage..the entire exhaust pipe has collapsed and was just laying there. i found little comfort in thinking that dying of CO in my sleep would at least be peaceful.

do i get the parts rebuilt at a sheet metal shop? the tubing looks like standard 4" stuff. two elbows and some straight would get me to the roof vent.

and i need to go on a diet!! my home heater needs to last until my wife gets done with school and lands a job...full (move out) remodel..hopefully.
