A crap weekend coming up...........

The mild winter, we are going to have a blizzard. Winds, snow, cold. Projected low for Sat. night is 13F

Plus my back is still bothering, and today, left work early because of it (and another couple reasons)

So I get home and.......

The furnace stat is tied through a relay to the living room heater, a free standing glass front heater, so that they normally come on together. The living room heater also has a stat, so if the furnace quits, it will still operate

I finally realized only the room heater was running, not the furnace. Went down there and powered it down and the DRAFT BLOWER is spinnng...................and spinning.............and spinning. Know why? Well I don't have it apart yet, but the bet is the squirrel cage for the draft blower broke That thing is no fun to get at on a good day, the gas pipe crosses over to the other side so it will all have to come apart, and my back is still bothering.

Plus even when I get it apart, I'll have to order the parts, I doubt very much I have what I need.

(By the way in a previous life I was an HVAC/R service guy, so I "used" to know what I am doing.........

This will not be a nice Sat--Sun
