Boiler Eruption

I began the first days of my educational leave dealing with an boiler eruption that left inches of a brown silt-like substance all over my boiler room floor. It also oozed out into the living area of my basement totally staining and destroying the carpet.

At first it looked like it would cost me a few thousand dollars to replace my boiler but when the company found out that my heating bills are really quite low they decided that for about $1,500 they could make it last 100 years -- 20 more years, that is. By then I should have my mortgage paid off.
