Thanks guys! So I was out in the Greenhouse today washing the algae off the walls after I sprayed Physan yesterday and let it sit overnight....PESKY SQUIRREL has made itself known yet again.
We have our first real cold snap of the season right now, the tail end of that bad storm causing snow and ice a little farther north. Its in the 60's at the moment, tonight we may see 38-39F. So I decided to do my test fire up of my heater. Guess what? NO HEAT. Would NOT come on. Had my go-to heater fix guy swing by and check the propane tank connections and make sure the heater was getting fuel (it was) it just was not coming on. He called his cousin who works with him, an electrician, who came right over and we jointly found while tracing down the wiring leading from the thermostat control to the heater....the wire that supplies its power was chewed through and a segment about a foot long MISSING. It was a few minutes to splice in a new bigger better wire and Shazzoom Bif Bang Bam we have HEAT. THANKS BE TO THE SUPREME BEING. I need to find some way to discourage this squirrel.
