As we continue to settle into the house, and as it gets colder, we realized that we really needed to fix the broken duct work that brought the heat to our dining room. I've mentioned before that we bought a foreclosed home, and as such it has had many issues, both large and small. Luckily, this was a smaller issue that only took about an hour to fix. After a run to Lowe's (they know us pretty well in there) we picked up the three pieces of duct work that we needed: a 4" x 12" x 6" angle boot ($6.19), a 90 degree elbow ($2.99), and a 6-inch pipe ($7.49). Justin had to trim the pipe to size with wire snips, then he fastened the angle boot into the ceiling (floor of the dining room), since our furnace is downstairs. The elbow was attached next, and finally the pipe was fitted into the elbow. I had to help him hold the pipe for just a minute so that he could attache it with screws. We haven't done anything like the before, but hot air is filling the dining room, so I'm guessing that it's ok. :)
My husband is amazing!!
