Jacki woke me up at 4am because she was cold. She had checked the heater and guess what... it was dead. Well sort of dead. Fan was running, gas was working but no spark...
So the house was down to 60 at that time.
She woke me up and started speed talking. Not exactly what my head can handle at that time of day. I mean, I didn't even have my coffee yet...
Anyway as any guy of course I could look at it and by some miracle it would work... well not in this case...
Instead since I just couldn't fall asleep I got up and "sealed" off the living room (it's big and steals all the heat). Then I got the space heater going. Space heater is kind of the official description. It's more portable than it's heating. Anyway I went ahead and lighted candles and turned on the oven.
By 7 or so I ventured off to home depot and got a new ceramic space heater for a larger space that can warm things up a little bit before the heater guy get's there.
Finally driving to work I heard about a water main break on river road (no kidding). It's a 66 Inch water main so that is a ton of water and then some....
Check it out here: http://www.foxnews.com/.
The story so far:
DEVELOPING: Emergency workers on Monday were rescuing drivers trapped by rushing water after a water main break in Maryland.
Cars were stranded after the break at River Road and Fenway Drive in Bethesda, Montgomery County police said.
The county's Swift Water Rescue Team was called to the scene where a river of water of between 3 and 4 feet high trapped multiple vehicles on River Road.
Notice the basket being lowered from a helicopter!!!! no it's not a rescue at sea... It's a water main break!!!! Just kind of weird it had to happen on riverroad...
(btw. People are getting out safely)

I just saw the incident in the TV...
If you get a repair man out for the heater - make sure you trust them. I had a repair man out to fix the same problem, they wanted to charge me $500 to fix the problem. My dad fixed it for less than $5 ... it was a cheap part, a selenoid? They wanted to replace the controller board (which retailed $120, the rest was their fees).
Similar thing happened to me. My pilot light was out. Doh... 150$ to light it up again.
I felt like an idiot.
i didn't know you guys lost heat! Oh my I hope all is well asap.
