Well, the "part" finally died of old age

Yesterday going into this morning has been one of the coldest days and nights so far this year, and that is when the "Motor" on the Blower of our home furnace decided to die and it died around 4 am this morning. The heater would turn on, but no air was flowing through the vents.
Luckily, we had two pretty nice space heaters to help keep the house from freezing. When I woke up this morning to call the Heater Repairman, the inside of the house was 64 degrees F. It was pretty chilly but it would have been worse without the space heaters.
The Heater Repairman came and replaced the Motor on the Blower. He left around an hour ago. It was an unexpected expense , but it was something that needed to be repaired. It was around 20 years old.

I hope it wasn't too expensive but at least it was repairable.

Yes, and if it continues with the temps we had today, it is going to be a long winter.

Yes, thank goodness the repair man was not backed up with customers.

We made sure not to set them too near things that could catch fire.

It did happen at the wrong time of year with it being so cold. But, yes, luckily it is fixed now.

I wish it would stay Autumn or Spring temps all year long.
