Overwhelmed by noise that had no explanation.

[Lady Bug]

Hi, this morning I was rattled by a big noise in the basement. It was a bit cold this morning and as a result I put the heater on for a few minutes. While the heat was running for a little while, I heard a big noise in the basement as if something fell. I was terrified, thinking what happened? It sounded like it was right below me. I went into the basement (I don't know how I was brave enough to do this) and looked around and there was absolutely nothing at all indicating anything out of place. While I was relieved that there was no intruder, I remain mystified and kind of terrified that I'll hear a similar noise again. I do wonder if it had something to do with the heat not being on for a long time (weeks or months). I don't want to hear that again.

ps I wish I posted more Catholic things, and I'm sorry. It's not that I don't, but oh well, I don't do it every single time.

I found the problem; it appears that something fell from the heater, it was behind the heater but I can't really recognize the apparatus. This sucks. I'm incapable of managing this home.

I would definitely keep the heat off until you figure out what might be wrong. No one really knows about such things until they first have to deal with it. You can always take a photo and run it through google images to identify it. If you are talking about a furnace it should be looked at by a professional for a tune-up at least once every two years, maybe every year if it is older.

I know. I'm worried because right now the financial situation here is iffy. Now all 3 ceiling light bulbs have gone out and I don't know how to reach them. I'm too squeamish to use a ladder. I'm feeling like a 5-year-old.

See if you can find a teenager to change the light bulbs, have the ladder and bulbs ready to go in case the opportunity presents.

It’s perfectly ok to post things from your everyday life LB. No worries.
