The rain has finally stopped in Perth County, but my furnace room floor is flooded again.

Hmmmm.

It’s a forced-air furnace, so it has a pump that sends water that condenses out of the air through a plastic tube to the washtub. What if the water on the floor is condensate?

I plugged the washtub yesterday, and this morning the furnace room floor is wet but the washtub is dry as a bone.

So, after church today I shall head to the basement with a large bucket and a screwdriver. The outlet from the furnace can go into the bucket until I can get the HVAC technicians in. Which will be as soon as possible next week.

This sort of thing never happens in an ordinary week. Holy Week, or Passover, or Eid-al-Fitr — bet on it.
