On Friday afternoon, the weather around here got really terrible really quickly.
As they were getting the buses ready to take all the kids home, the heating system inside of the school building at my kids’ school broke down and stopped working.
You would never believe how cold it got inside of the building. After Friday, I would venture to say that they don’t have any insulation inside of that school building at all! It was like being inside of a cold tin tan. The temperature started falling really quickly inside of the building once the heating system stopped working. I don’t know what the deal was with the heating system. All of a sudden there was a big clunking sound that you could hear throughout the whole entire building. Then the air vents stopped putting out heat throughout the classrooms and the hallways and that was it. There was no more heat after that! The maintenance guys at the school were already gone for the day, and they weren’t about to be coming back through the weather to look at the furnace. I cannot believe how cold it got inside of the school building. The weather continued to be terrible all weekend long, but on Monday morning we found out that they were going to be having school anyway. I can only hope that the local commercial HVAC company got to the school building over the weekend to get the furnace fixed. Surely they would not be trying to have school without a working heating system in the building!
