WHY IS IT SO FREEZING COLD IN THE HOUSE?

Suck it up and tell me how to light my pilot. kthxbai

Seriously, I've tried. I've watched 67 online videos, printed about 15 pages, and read every forum I could find. But there is nothing that looks like any of the videos, not in my furnace, and apparently skipping the part of the directions that says to put the flame to the pilot assembly are non-negotiable: waving a lighter around in the hole is too imprecise.

This little electric heater works just fine for now...but I'll need heat soon. Ugh, winter.

Open up your furnace. Take a picture. Post on the cellar.

What makes you think you need to light your pilot? Did you shut it off in the Spring? Maybe it's still lit, or maybe you have electric ignition. Our pilot light burns all summer. It wastes a bit of gas, but *shrug*.
