So our furnace decided today was the day to remind us that old furnaces don't last forever. Around 4:30 it started making a really loud noise. Not a banging or knocking, but a steady noise just like it was running, only about 25 times louder. The noise stopped when we turned it off, and then started again immediately when we turned it back on. Needless to say, we left it turned off.
Due to the magic of blogs I found the name of the guy Lisa and Christa used to replace their furnaces, called him and scheduled an appointment for tomorrow. I'm crossing my fingers that he'll be able to repair it. He advised us not to use the furnace in the meantime.
I'm not thrilled about this, but it could be a lot worse. It's supposed to be a bit warmer for the rest of the week. We have firewood and a kerosene heater, and Lisa brought us several space heaters and an air humidifier. It won't be like the ice storm a few years ago, when we didn't have power & therefore no stove or hot water.
