i fix it; iFixAll

I have this DeLonghi radiant electric space heater for 30 years. I have always taken good care of it, and it never failed me until this winter. Inexplicably the dial of the thermostat seized up and cannot be turned. The heating elements still function just fine except I cannot change the thermostat set point. I finally found time to investigate.

still another mini split installation - part 1

I have long planned to install a mini split heat pump in the three-car garage. There is a full bath as well as the accumulators for the well water inside which rely on resistive electric heat to prevent the water from freezing in winter. I want to be able to use the garage as a closer workshop. It is a no-brainer decision, except finding time to install one. That time is now.
