Gag Christmas gift solves HVAC puzzle

I have to admit that getting an instant read thermal gun was a surprise.

And getting it at the office Christmas party was even more of a surprise.

It turned out that the entire crew gifted me this and it took a minute to understand why. But once I got it and started grinning, the entire crew fell to pieces. For sure, I am the thermostat sheriff in the office. And I make no bones about it. It’s not a job responsibility that I asked for or ever wanted but it’s one that fell to me. I had been charged with reducing overhead costs in the office. So of course the thermostat setting was a target. While I’m not a confrontational person, I wasn’t having it with people yanking the thermostat all over. I appealed to them nicely. Then I finally just had the HVAC company put in a smart thermostat and I was the only one with the manual override code. It was clever and I really did find it sort of hilarious. However, I also found the source of a puzzling draft in my house that has bedeviled me and made our heating costs soar. The thermal gun allowed me to find the spot where the cold air was pouring inside. And that was one of the windows that we had replaced with double paned windows when we moved in. I got the window company back out here to properly insulate it and the house is cozier now. Plus, I’ll be saving a bit on my heating costs as well.
