Now, you might know that in our house we have radiant heat from a water boiler system. It's super cool for a couple reasons, one being that since there is no forced air, it doesn't get as dry in the winter and it doesn't spread allergens throughout the house. The second cool thing is that we have zoned heat. That's right, the kitchen, familyroom/master bedroom, and upstairs are all in thier own zone. Now, the downstairs already have cool programmable thermostats, but for some reason the upstairs was stuck in the 1970s. Not really a problem, but not ideal since James has to remember to turn it down every day before going to work. So, yesterday, Matt and James decided to take matters into their own hands.
First the removed the thermostat bits
And then disconnected what was left and removed that (notice the blast-from-the-past wallpaper. Apparently the previous owners have a thing for leaving wallpaper behind)
Next they hooked up the new plate:
And put on the cover
Took less than 15 minutes, which I think is pretty impressive, don't you?
