Hey forum, i'm a single girl, living alone, and woke up freezing this morning! since i'm sleepin alone i figured i'd have to turn on my furnace and get the heat going...

well, i turn the thermostat on and NOTHING happens.
I went down to the basement and nothing was happening down there either, no blue light coming from the (old) furnace.
now i'm scared the house will blow up! [xx(]

i opened the front panel and there are no instructions on how to light the pilot... i did find a lever and turned it to "OFF" though.
can somebody wise help me?

i'm new at this homeowning thing!
