Now that sounds just about perfect.
Funny, but I never did venture into our top-most space; about all I ever had the courage to do was open the overhead panel and take a quick peek underneath.
The furnace-monster was much more preferable to whatever lurked up there!
It's snowing again and I'd planned to go out, so I'm dithering the day away.
Guess I'll go check on my plants/tubers in the icky crawlspace. It's certainly not a place I'd ever go to read, that's for sure.
