Over Christmas Melanie sent us a new thermostat. You see, when she came to visit us for our wedding shower we were having some furnace issues and since the Winslow's are the experts in heating and cooling she helped us fix them. Mr. Winslow told her that our original thermostat was crap and we needed a new one. The reason that we (and when I say we, I mean Louis) hadn't installed it right away is that we were fearful that if we screwed it up we wouldn't have heat in the dead of winter. This past weekend with the nice weather Louis took the plunge and decided to install the new touch screen thermostat. He did a great job and it took under an hour. Plus he got to use his power tools, which is a great day for him.
As you can see the new one is super cool, and we still have to do some patching/painting since our old one was so much larger. For now we have a slightly ugly wall and a pretty thermostat. Now I just need to learn how to use the thing!
Jenny, you forgot to mention how I cleaned the flame sensor in the furnace so it now runs correctly. :)
