This morning we had our fireplace repairman come to scope out our new problem. Just as we suspected, the motor in our exterior-wall exhaust fan bit the dust. The unit is originally installed in the late 1980s, so its demise was not totally unexpected. However, it will most likely prove fairly expensive to replace. It seems as though the company has a replacement unit available. We will confirm its installation after seeing an estimated bill. Thankfully, a heatwave is coming to southern British Columbia this weekend!
As Philipe was only here a short time, I was able to drive Jay uptown. He had an appointment at the medical lab on 5th Street for a standard blood test and an ECG. We parked on the roof of the Royal City Mall and I walked around inside a bit while he was gone. We knew it'd take a bit longer than a normal blood check. While waiting, I took a few photos.
