The snow continues to pile up, but we're at least one step closer to getting the heat on inside the house. The ductwork has been run throughout the first two floors and we'll be connecting the trunks in the basement very soon. Of course, we still need to order and install the furnace, plus we'll need to get the natural gas and electricity hooked up. Realistically, I'm going to assume we won't have heat until at least mid January.

Just out of curiosity, have you looked at doing a ground source heatpump instead of a furnace. Higher upfront cost, but could save you major $$ over time.
Indeed, we did look into geothermal heating, but it was CRAZY expensive to install. The equipment wasn't too bad, but drilling the vertical wells was incredibly costly. We simply couldn't justify the installation costs!
