The furnace is so loud over at my dad’s house that I can’t even hear him when I go over there to visit these days. I try to go over to his house to visit him after work at least twice a week, but it has been really annoying for me lately. We have been having a really cold spell around here, and the temperatures have been in the 20s for weeks at a time. Of course, I don’t mind going to visit him in the winter, but the problem is the fact that his furnace has developed a really loud roaring sound for some reason. My dad tends to mumble when he talks, and most of the time I have a hard time understanding what he is saying anyway. When you couple that with the fact that his furnace in the house is now super loud, I can barely understand a word that he is saying whenever we are trying to have a conversation! I love my dad and I want to spend time with him whenever I can. However, the whole furnace issue is going to have to get fixed really soon because it’s starting to drive me crazy. I told my dad that there is definitely something wrong with his furnace, but he says that his house is staying heated just fine. When I tried to explain to him that it’s not the fact that the heating isn’t working but that the furnace itself is actually so loud, he just didn’t really seem to understand what I was saying. I think what we have here is actually a failure to communicate!
