The Mellotron Group

Gas heat, but an electric blower. I have a furnace and air conditioner that 
 addresses the basement and the first floor and then a 2nd unit in the 
attic that  heats and cools the 2nd floor. Karen has asthma so we don't burn 
fires anymore  even though we have two fireplaces. We do have lots of blankets 
and two very  large, warm dogs.
 
 
I'm so exhauster and sore from digging, I haven't the strength to complete  
the reassembly. There's still much to be done.

Nice job as always, Frank.  Is your heat gas or electric?  I hope  it's gas.

Yesterday was hell.
 
I have a friend who lets me use his spray booth and helps me paint when  I 
he has time. We finished repainting the cabinet yesterday and I wanted to  
get it home before the snow storm arrived. I left Manassas at 3:30 PM for a  
12 mile drive. I got home at 11 PM. I have a huge 4 wheel drive truck, and I 
 was able to take unplowed back roads for part of the journey, but I pulled 
 over 3 miles from my house to help someone who had slid off the road. I 
got  stuck in two feet of mud so soft and thick it was like concrete. I had to 
 walk home to get a couple of shovels and walk back. The snow by the time I 
 got back was 8 inches deep. No luck in digging it out. Finally at 11 PM  
three guys in three trucks with chains came along. It took all three of them  
to pull me loose. I wasn't leaving my truck or that cabinet on the side of  
the road.
 
When I finally got home, we had no power... all night.
 
For those of you who can see them, here are some photos. I'll put up  a 
summary on the group page when it's done. 
 
The cabinet had the right side busted out and holes drilled all over  it. 
The rear frame mount was warped and falling off.
