Stress enough

trystinnTo expand on the FB post:
I woke up in full adrenaline mode to a horrendous screeching noise. After some investigation, it turned out to be the heater. I went ahead and turned it off, thinking if I left it running it would likely blow. Got up at a reasonable hour, turned it back on - more screeching. I turned it off, started cursing, then got around to take care of the critters while I texted Kevin for help. Made coffee, built a fire and started warming up my very best Ye Olde Curse.
Called Dad, who used to run an HVAC company, he instructed me to unplug the unit (no off switch, since its electric), then run the blade in both directions. Plug back in, run it and see what's what. So far, so good. Kevin dropped by with Boo, did about the same thing I did, called it good and headed home, leaving BooBoo with me. All I can think, is that there was some sort of particle stuck in the fan and we dislodged it. Either that, or it had become loose and turning it tightened it up.
Possibly, also the heater was afraid I'd get some tools and start whacking on it. Percussive maintenance has always been my forte.
