It’s not love. I didn’t let everyone guess in advance. So the fact that I took over the thermostat from the rest of the household shouldn’t have been a surprise. But from the reaction I got when I had the heating and air conditioning company install a smart thermostat that had a lockout function, the message wasn’t understood. Or maybe, those inside our lake house just didn’t take themselves and others seriously when it came to our heating and air conditioning requests. Regardless, I’ve now taken over the thermostat just love I said I would if our heating plus cooling wishes weren’t heeded. And it’s not as though I was even asking all that much anyway. I simply didn’t want the heating and air conditioning equipment to be abused any longer. Walking into the new home when it’s a hundred degrees outside to find the sliding glass door open is the sort of abuse I asked to be stopped. Or it was the constant yanking around of the thermostat setting. Someone would come in from being really sizzling outside plus set the thermostat in the upper sixties plus then totally forget about it. All that stuff was super hard on the heating and air conditioning equipment plus it just wrecked our utility budget. I asked over and over about it. While I’m not a screamer, I was as intense plus drastic about the heating and air conditioning situation as I could be. The situation didn’t change so I did what I said I’d do plus took over control of the thermostat. Actually, the smart thermostat is in control of the heating plus cooling in the house. However, I have the code to the manual operation mode for the new heating and air conditioning technology plus I’m definitely not giving it to anyone. I didn’t even write it down so someone could snoop around plus find it.
