I have heat!!
My furnace was finally fixed this evening after the blower motor and the squirrel cage both went out on Thursday night. It's been cold. :(

16. well that was an invitation
for you to come to my house and find some zero carbon way to keep warm :think:

But now that you mention it we are both exhaling carbon dioxide and water vapor, and somebody's gotta take one for the topsoil.

12. Yup
it's cooling here as well.

I'm fighting cranking the furnace back up. I'm a tightwad. I have it lit... BUT, my new scam is to leave thermostat on 49 until it comes on then accepting and fixing thermostat :D

We'll see how long I make it. :P

14. I'm confused
does the thermostat work and the lowest setting is 49? Don't let your place get that cold... :hug:

35. Getting there.
Not as quickly as I would like but I'm getting there. Thanks for asking. :loveya:

I'm just so happy that you'll be warm again. Does the "fix" look like it is going to work? And has the landlord said anything about actually replacing the unit?

36. The blower motor was replaced
and the squirrel cage was spot welded. It should hold until the rest of the unit is replaced. It's 20 years old. He just bought himself a little time. No idea how much.

Honestly, I'm glad I didn't have to go through a replacement. I've done that in two houses I owned and it's a bigger pain.
