Name: Anne Summerville, SC (Zone 8a) Only dead fish go with the flow!
I'm quaking in my boots here .. I don't know if my heating systems in the greenhouses can keep up with the projected temps in the teens. Had a really bad fright on Friday night .. the 2nd greenhouse was down to 38 by 8 pm so I went out and discovered the thermostat wasn't working and they were calling for temps in the mid 20's that night! Thankfully I had a backup. Now I was REALLY freaking out because I had no backups in case another one went kablooey with the next Arctic front on its way. My neighbor who is an electrician checked out the broken one and she found it was the piggyback plug that had gone bad .. thankfully I was able to get another piggyback plug off of a sump pump switch and she replaced the old one and it works perfectly now so I have my backup .. WHEW!
I'm going to be ordering two more of these k-kontol thermostats so I have backups for my backups.
Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.
