I have found there is a BIG discrepancy in thermostats too.

I have Honeywell round thermostats in my house....3 of them on the main level as it's zoned hot water heat. When I installed a digital one for my gas fireplace last year, it read about 6 degrees warmer than the Honeywells, which are all about 20 years old. I thought the new digital one was defective, returned it, and the next one was the same.

So I always kept my heat at 68-70f also, according to the Honeywells, but now if I set the digital one at 68 it is frigid.

I have no clue which one is accurate, all I know is where I feel comfortable.

A little sore from the strut job?? You deserve the weekend off after that!!

I am a little sore too, from the Covid booster, but that seems to be my only symptom and it's not bad. I am really glad no bad headache!!

I’ve had to replace my t-stat three times in the last 10yrs . First one just took a crap . So my uncle replaced it with a over $100 touch screen like @Laughing Grass . One morning work up and the house was 90° . Took it of the wall and went through the whole setup procedure and put it back on . Worked fine for a day and did it again . Called my uncle and told him what was up and just get me a cheap non-programmable digital t-stat . That worked until last month when that one decided to take a crap too . Had m son go buy the cheapest t-stat at Ace Hardware. This one doesn’t have a spot for the constant power wire from furnace , so it’s just running off batteries . We’ll see how long this one lasts . As far as the temp difference goes just get a small thermometer and put it right next to it to see what the difference is . Everything is junk these days .

I have never changed struts myself....Shocks a few times, and they are bad enough....I know have heard struts can be dangerous!

He will be surprised when he hits a bump and it doesn't bounce for 5 minutes :)

I need to car shop too. There is actually a new used car dealer down the road from me. I stopped in there the other day but not one price on any of them. My car needs tires before winter, and I would like to trade it before then.

I am thinking new car dealers will never be the same as pre Covid. They kind of have it made right now....They are selling everything full price or higher, and most everything is sold before it hits the lot. Why would they go back to having lot fulls. They are making more this way with less hassles. They all lie now too...They show 40 cars in inventory and when you get there, no cars.
