The Propane Tank Was Filled & No One Panicked
February 9, 2018 by
Yesterday the propane tank was filled and no one panicked. We live in a rural area (not for much longer, but the big move is a whole different story). Our forced air furnace runs on propane and several times a year the tanks need to be filled. We have a big tank that feeds our […]
