This morning I finished hooking up the vent pipe for the furnace. Skipped going to the Bolshoi because of this. Started wiring up the thermostat. Mounted the box on the brick wall and ran a piece of Cat 5 over to the sink. This wire will carry both thermostat lines and also temperature sensing. I will route the wire to the shop where two of the lines will break out and resume their journey to the heater. The heater is mostly set to go - gas hooked up and cover put back on, vent pipe completed both inside and outside. At approx 8:00 I left to pick up Libbie at the airport. She was due at 8:40 but the plane was coming in early. I brought two peanut butter sandwiches I made at home with PN and J purchased at Krogers this afternoon.
