First thing, check the fuse or breaker box to see if it was tripped or the fuse blown. Sometimes that will be on it's own breaker. At least eliminate that possibility. After that since I have no idea of what your set up is I cannot advise. Hope he calls back soon. I will make some other comments about moving and stuff when I have some time and you are warm and can think about it.

Blower motor died. Of course it would wait until DH is gone, and it's a Sunday. He's got a friend working on finding a motor and fixing it for me. I am mechanically clueless! It's going to be 23 tonight, why could this not have happened two nights ago when I didn't need heat?

5 wild turkeys in my yard right now. My brilliant dog Clara is barking at them. As if she's never seen turkeys before? Well one of them flew off and she freaked!! Jumped 2 feet in the air! Spaz. She has turkeys living in her backyard but apparently those wild ones are too much for her!

I just looked at the blower and went... Duh I can replace that motor. It's 2 bolts and 2 wires! DH's summer time boss thinks he has a motor, so we might have heat tonight after all!

I think appliances are like pregnant ewes and does. They wait for that 'perfect' time to be most inconvenient. :)

Wow - hope he gets it done for ya! If not, sounds like you and DD deserve a "spa" night at the nearest hotel! Pick one with a hot tub, lol!

DH told me this morning I'll love TN because there are goats EVERYWHERE! He knows how to impress me :p

I asked him to make sure to ask our friends if they have sensitive noses because I am bringing bucks with me. He assured me farm smells don't bother them.
