Heater Issues

The heater works, that's not the issue.  The issue that I'm experiencing is that in one room - Robert's - the air coming through the heater vent smells like something's burning!  Of all the rooms, why his?!  Since no other room is afflicted with this tainted air, I'm guessing it's something in the vents leading to his room.  I wish I had $15,000 to do some asbestos abatement and install a new heater!

Painting the Heater Vents

The base boards and walls were pretty much painted in the living room, dining room, and front bedroom.  One thing that always kind of bothered me was how ugly the heater vents were.  We couldn't find any place that sold newer replacements for these vents, so Sandra removed the existing ones, and I cleaned them off in the backyard a few days ago.  Keep in mind that by cleaned them off, I mean I hosed them down.  That was a much needed hose down, too.  All of them had grayish water streaming from them.  I also sprayed them down with TSP to further reduce the gunk.  We left them sitting inside to dry.

Today, I painted them with the semi-gloss.
