We're getting a bit of cold weather tonight after that warm front. Of course, the heater goes out just as we're putting the kids to bed. Threw on the nasty clothes Crawled underneath the house and started taking apart the unit. Now, I know approximately jack and shit about heat and air.. but... every time I call a repair man for something, I always follow them and watch what they're doing... asking questions the whole time. I remembered what the guy did last time (blew out some line and some valve with a can of spray air), repeated it, and the thing kicked right back on.

Now I'm the hero of the household, and I'm expecting a "reward" tonight when the missus and I hit the sheets.

I guess the only real moral to the story is to follow an the repairman around and pay attention when you have one out. A lot of times the "repair" isn't all that tough.
