We will also make sure all systems get a pro go-through. That may be her birthday present from us. And again, thanks to everyone who weighed in with practical advice.
I think what may happen from here is that she may not be able to afford safe heating; may not be able to reconcile this plan with the falconry regs; may not get the leak repaired soon enough; and may end up having to push off her plans until it's warmer. Which would be good, because if she moved out in April she could have the adventure she's after without so much worry, spend the summer enjoying it, and when it got cold in the fall consider either an apartment or just spending a bit longer at home getting set in school.
That's my favorite scenario, anyway. :)
