Change the Batteries in the Thermostat

Mental note to self, change the batteries in the thermostat each Fall when you change the smoke detector batteries.

I arrived in our Amherst NH real estate office this morning and brrrr its cold in here. Checked out the thermostat and its blank.

Oh dear, I don't think I've ever checked the batteries in the thermostat.

And of course it happened on the weekend when agents are in and out and it went un-noticed. It was 45 degrees in here this morning.

So I changed them and the furnace kicked right on. This is a steam system with radiators and they have just started their freight frain sounds of clacking and hissing. I will always think of growing up and wet mittens on the top of the radiators (we used to have a plan on top of the radiators). Its a good memory.

By the time our Amherst NH real estate agents start to arrive it will be toasty again in Amherst.
