if you don't laugh at this, you're not alive.
Here is a pic of my new Thermostat installation.
This is located in an old Den that has yet to be insulated and the stat is on an outside wall (it gets cooler on that wall in the winter and will throw off the stats reading).
Looking online, I couldn't find any backing plate that would raise it off the wall about an inch. Or at least anything I liked.
So I decided I was going to model one and print it at my local library. Well, I got frustrated with that and gave up.
Then one day I was out in the workshop and I saw some of these.
For giggles, I won't tell you what "these" are and I want to see if you can guess :)
I'm not a photographer so this may not be the best representation.
