I carry a burner phone with me that is linked to the main number and schedule people as needed.

I have one AP property that I decided to put Quiet Title on back burner for reasons similar to your idea however I've done all the other parts to satisfy a court prove up, short of pub notice. 

If not change the batteries on t-stat and try again.If it doesn't you need to check for power to furnace, and if that doesn't work you can check the doors on the furnace to see if they are tight and the door switch is engaged.A normal sequence of operation would be the induction motor comes on, after a few seconds, it will check whats called a sail switch to ensure it is venting air, at that time the glow plug should come on, and following the gas valve opens, firing the burners, the flame sensor will check to ensure that the flame did light to ensure burners light, and then the blower motor will engage. 

The house was a horror; filthy, roaches literally everywhere, a kerosene pot-burner heater in the floor - no fan: just a big grate in the floor, everything in the house was sticky, and there were dead bugs and dusty spider webs in the bathtub.I refused to work there and told her to call somebody else.

Or, if you wish to truly experience what a pain it is (because you're the type of person that touches burners when they're hot just to make sure) then you can start it yourself

I'm with some of the others who say to put bankruptcy on the back burner.

I have gone back to the classic alway a winner thermodor or dacor 6 burner cooktop.

We are usuing a gas burner with glass media and adding electrical and extra support above for flat screen TV.

I tried to get my parents to put one in along with a 2-burner electric range top in their house but they didn't go for it.

Their refrigerator shelving is held together with tape, (that way when they moved in); they bought a stove so they could have more than one working burner, the downstairs bathroom has leaked so much the lino is coming up, the fence is held up with props and the gates are history.
