The family room is nice and warm, @SandySparkles.  Thanks. The rest of the house is still chilly. I'm waiting to see if DH gives in and decides to come down.

My furnace did that two weeks ago on a Sunday.  I texted the guy who installed it just one year ago and he sent someout out within the hour to fix it.  Poor guy had to travel 30 miles to my house.  Turned out to be a loose wire that prevented the fan from turning on.

I've had electric blankets ever since I was a young teenager.  Never had a problem with any of them.  The one I currently have is about 30 yrs old and never gets turned off from October to May, unless I'm going out of town.  If it goes out I have a new one ready to take it's place.  I've always been cold and can take lots of heat.

Well, DH never came downstairs.  I was super toasty down here all night, even had to let the fire die down for a little while.  I just started it up again.  Fortunately we have a natural gas starter so it's easy -  not like the old days of wadding up newspaper, kindling, and using a bellows.  The only partial mishap was that I went to the garage for more wood.  I couldn't see the steps as I descended and thought I made it to the landing but I actually missed the last step.  It's a good thing our rack of grab 'n' go work jackets and coats cushioned the wall I stumbled into.  I went straight down, never letting go of my box of logs LOL.  I had neck fusion surgery several years ago and the surgeon's parting words at my last appointment with him were "protect your neck".  That's always in the forefront of my mind.  I was mindful of it the entire time. I twisted my right wrist and right knee a little and popped my left ankle as I tripped, but the neck is good. I think everything is fine, just a little sore.  Actually, I think the ankle a little less stiff than usual.  Life can be a comedy of errors sometimes. 🤷‍♀️😁

Been there, done that...waiting for it to happen again as our heat pump is at the end of it's predicted lifespan! But we have a gas fireplace that actually heats the living room, dining room, kitchen (open concept) and makes the master bedroom tolerable to sleep in.

Doesn't reach the bathroom, though...those middle of the night visits were COLD!

It's all fixed.  The guy replaced a sensor - a five minute job.

@JeanLouiseFinch I was delighted to read that you now have heat, and stayed WARM!!-YAY! I am SO sorry for your stumble in the dark, but glad you were not seriously injured.😊

On the bright side, you discovered athletic agility you did not know you had while clinging to your logs!😁

Have a great, WARM day!😊

We bought a electric fireplace insert a couple of years ago and love it. It warms up the family room, kitchen even into the living room. It looks and sounds great.
