I have an overseas trip coming up plus I want to have everything prepared before I go.
I need to have somebody to water our plants plus flush toilets while I am gone.
I also need to lock up the house narrow plus wash everything before I leave. The last thing, the a single I am dreading, is figuring out the low heating setting on our heater. I have a gas fireplace, plus it can be set to a low heating mode. This is where the fireplace does not go hardcore with heating, just a steady stream. I would way prefer this since I don’t want to spend money to heat a house that I am hardly in. I cannot just leave our home unheated for 10 afternoons however. In the north the cold can come quick plus be intense; Unfortunately I don’t have a smart temperature control. I can’t just check the home temperature from our iphone plus alter on trip once I am near Wi-Fi. That would be super handy plus I would not need to mess with the fireplace. But, I am stuck every trip messing with the gas heater. I need to figure out how to program the low heating mode plus then beg our mother to leave it alone. I have returned to trips with the house chilly cold because the oil furnace is off. My mother likes to check on our house. If she thinks the house is hot, she will just turn off the heater. I am hopeful she will leave it alone this year plus the oil furnace will work separate from a hitch.
