Not outside, inside. My DH noticed it a few hours after I did and asked me why. I explained that the furnace seemed to be taking a break. He went in and felt the register and flipped. It seems they were blowing cold air (I knew that) I told him it was the weekend and people who fix that stuff charge ALOT more on weekends. He didnt seem to care. He asked me to call a friend and see if he knew anything about furnaces. The friend suggested the usual things, pilot (we don't have one) and thermo coupler (too difficult for my DH to consider) and I finally gave in and looked up a furnace place in the yellow pages. I was so relieved when I recognized one of the addresses as my Usborne book dealer. At least I knew he was honest. I called him and he came right away and replace the electric igniter. I haven't seen the bill yet but I'm sure it will be outstanding. I hate getting people to come do stuff like that. I have to call a plumber and I am putting that off as long as possible.
It was cold this past weekend

I also put some things off. My heating element went out on my stove (which was only 7 years old). It was going to be almost $300 to fix it. It went out in the spring, so I waited until fall to fix it. I figured, I could use the outdoor grill for almost anything I needed to cook or bake. I actually baked a banana bread on the grill. It was totally awesome. It is amazing how resourceful we can become when we have to. It did get my stove fixed and know we cook inside. Good thing, cause it's cold outside.
