The actuator & aquastat arrived. I was bummed because I ordered a 24 volt actuator when there was a 110 available (I thought I ordered the 110). I just gave them the wrong number. Oh, well - it's cheaper & easier to throw a transformer into the circuit instead of returning the one & waiting for another, so, we'll be good to go as soon as that gets here. Safer than 110v, too.
All plumbing is roughly 80% complete & I'll be finalizing that & making the mounts for the electronics on the reserviour this afternoon after chess class (I'm teaching the fine art/critical science of chess to grades K - 10 and my son's school).
I hate plumbing under the house. I hate ANYTHING under the house. With all the recent flooding, I feel like John Rambo while doing the belly crawl thru the cold, wet, poorly luminated underside of our dwelling. The only thing missing was the AK-47 and the torch to light the way (no rats, either). The UNDERWORLD is more like it - the water, the mud, the webs, spiders, centipedes, & even just the smell of this place where only the most undesirable critters care to venture (Hmmm..... since I'm under there, does that mean I'm undesireable, too?). I happened upon a couple of them that never made it out. Not sure how they got there or even what species they were - one looked like it might've been a bat & another may have been a little red squirrel. I'm really happy I brought the water pump up inside the house last month so I never have to go under there to work on it again. On the plus side, I did find a silver-clad quarter from 1977 under there last night. It's probably worth all of 29 cents. Oh, BOY! :) PERSPECTIVE: Just a minor inconvenience that could never offset the fresh air, the peace, the spaciousness, & tranquility of living in an old farmhouse in the marshy wetlands of beautiful Calhoun county, Michigan. Gotta love it.
No new pics yet. Our digital cam ain't working - the battery door won't stay shut because the little plastic thingy broke. Makes no sense. We've gone thru two digital cameras because of the same problem - little plastic thingies that are supposed to hold the doors shut.
Progress is slower than I'd like but then again I ain't killing myself over it, either.
....stay tuned.
