I went out and looked in my utility room which is a weekly chore and noticed that the pump that moves the furnace condensate up to the drain was not working. Thankfully the exact same pump is for sale at Menards and I go pick it up and replace the pump. All is good. So I pour some water in the pump to test it and the new pump does not work. I took it appart and moved over to my bench and plugged it in and it worked. Then I realized the the outlet in the furnace room is a GFI. Sure enough, the GFI neded to be reset. Being a glutton for punishment, I plugged in the old pump. Yep, works just fine. Thankfully I'm only out $50 and an hour or so of work. And, I guess having a spare isn't a bad thing but I'll probably go before the new pump does. Oh well. At least I didn't call someone out for that.
