It's cool in here

Last night our furnace fan was running nonstop with no heat coming out. So Gerry spent five hours working on it, with me sitting in the basement with him to encourage him. He finally located the switch that was not functioning and the cause of it burning out. I went on line to check the cost of labor of HVAC repair labor. At least $100 an hour. So, dear Gerry, $500 would buy a used motorcycle would it not? Did I actually say that? Today I am trying to order the part, but in the mean time, we have to manually start it each time. What does a person do who cannot repair their furnace or have the extra $500 to pay someone? I think Gerry enjoys figuring out how these things work. The only problem is getting up the next morning and going to work when he has been up until 1:00 am. Thanks honey!
