1. Heating up the dust in the furnace blower, gas jets and ducts
is always nasty the first time each season.

Right now am in a house have been in only since late April, so haven't had to turn on furnace yet. Have no idea what to expect...

27. Be careful!
I don't know what state you're in, but some, like Arizona, have rodents carrying hantavirus, which isn't something you want to mess with. Human cases are relatively rare, so don't freak! Just be aware...
