Cold oil and too small a nozzle (for future reference)

For future reference ...

The boiler shut down because of a combination of cold oil and a cold chimney. Since it was installed in May, the manufacturer (Buderus) has been sending them with a larger nozzle because it, well, learned from its mistakes, I guess. So we now have a larger nozzle and "hots" have been added to the fuel in the tank (kind of the equivalent of anti-freeze, I guess). Some adjustments were made also to make it run better, and to keep the chimney at a warmer temperature. (Don't ask me why this matters, but it does.) We need to keep the garage door closed in the winter, because even though the garage is very cold, it won't be quite as cold as outside. If this happens again, we need to request that "hots" be added with each winter oil delivery, but the repair guy thinks we'll be fine from here on out.

Still cold in here, but the furnace is running now.

And HOW COLD WAS IT? Cold enough that Stella and Jesse were curled up on our bed together, something one simply does not see here! I guess instead of an Alaskan Three Dog Night, we had a Shutesbury Two Cat Day.

I tried to get a photo, but Jesse jumped off the bed as soon as I pulled out the camera....
