Have it checked out. In the meantime, be prepared. Be ready with an alternate source of heat ( a good idea even when there is no problem) and dress for the worst case.http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/wcs/ ... _200307957
I bought one of these above, this past Saturday.

Shin kicks to the dumbass. Next time shovel the snow onto his car. :ymdevil:
AD thanks, that's a good idea!!!!!

Robbie, can you download the game to CD or DVD from your Tivo/DVR and give to your Grandparents to relay to DD and his Mrs. DD. They would love to see their daughter on the big screen of which she got some air time! Great memory! Let me know if you don't know how to do that.

The only way to eat them, I agree! However, I was reading the comments on one recipe from the Linkey I eventually got hip with to post, and the lady made like 400 of them, cooked and froze some of them so when she would bring them out, put in the toaster or some oil and finish the cooking and heating process. I might have to try this. I've done this previously with MacDonalds fries (many years ago) after refrigerating and they turned out okay (that was a while ago with that oil that wasn't good for you before they changed their recipe).

Could the furnace be powering the fan using a belt? That would explain the screeching under load potentially and not otherwise, but I would have to see the setup. It helps to be able to see these things...hmmm, post a video on U-tube?

Don't worry. They are clearing my sinuses. Hopefully that will get rid of the tinitis.
I suggest a porter or a stout. WOW!! :drool: :twitch: :drool: :twitch: :-bd
Oh, the hotter the better!!!! Down in San Antonio, you can buy pickled Jalapenos just about everywhere (big ones for a quarter), they aren't that hot, but yummy! What is that stuff that goes with sushi, green paste, now that stuff is good.... hmmmm, I'm having a memory lapse, ... I was just about to tell DD about it an hour or so ago as we were talking about sushi..... :-? :-? :-? :-? I'll remember as soon as I hit submit, but ... what the hey... worthy of another post ......

Wasn't there an issue with your furnace before you bought the condo?

Wonder what he would say if you did shovel snow on his car. Time for a snow blower so you can blow your snow on his car and let him dig it out. heh heh heh

Oh yeah, totally forgot, shin kicks for this dumbass.
Tilly, thanks also! I think this is the first time I've gotten shin kicks (Glad they aren't mine) support! :)) :)) :)) :)) :)) I need to post in the milestone thread! =)) =)) =))

The shin kickers always come to the aid of family and friends. We wouldn't kick your shins, unless you did something to hurt our Cathy.

I thought you got them to replace it, or a big discount so you could pay for the replacement when it failed? A bad grinding noise does sound like a bad bearing in the fan motor. That's about the only motor in a gas/oil furnace. A heat pump would have a compressor, which is (like) a motor and has lots of rotating parts.

Robbie - Do you have Tivo? There is some software that is called Tivo Desktop (Free download) which will let you download the movies you have recorded on Tivo to your computer, then I think you can download to your computer CD/DVD. We can work thru it brother!

Good memory, Tilly! This is a "new" furnace that the buyers had sitting around. It's actually 10 yrs old, but it's newer than the furnace that was originally in the unit. It failed the Laclede Gas inspection.

Just to be safe, I made a quick trip to Target to buy a space heater and a CO detector. Should've had the CO detector all along.

Here's the thing, though: furnace off, fan on - no loud racket. Wouldn't that mean that the fan is okay? With that being said, the noise is remarkably like the one that you hear in a car when there's an issue with the fan.
