If you had roofing work done:
1. Did you check your attic to see if there is debris on the furnace
or recessed lighting?
2. Did you check to see if the covers on your furnace did not fall off
from the vibration from all the hammering?
These are fire hazards that a good roofer should have checked for and
a bad roofer may not have at the end of the job.
Thanks for thinking of us, but up here in cold country, almost nobody
has recessed lights (heat leaks unless you get the expensive kind or
build a box around them), and furnaces are in the frigging basement
where they belong.
well you still have to check it when you put in a new basement floor.
The floor generally outlasts the house built over it.
Oh. Well, what if you have to dig it up to bury someone? Be sure to
check the furnace for parts dislodged by the jack hammer vibration.

Hehe-- My friends are always asking who I have buried in the
basement. For 20 years I've been lowering the floor in the basement
of my 100yr old house. Last summer I removed the furnace & lowered
that section. I guess I'm lucky the furnace was outside [in pieces]
when I was running the Stomper down there.
Now the only part of the basement that has a new, permanent floor is
the 6x10 slab that the new furnace sits on.
I do use a Bosch demo-hammer to break up the clay- so next time I'm
digging down there I'll keep an eye on the new furnace. [the old
'floor', an inch of rotten concrete comes up easy]
