Thermostats Often Are in Wrong Place

As nothing sounds very incredible in this day and age, we hardly expect even a raised eyebrow when we state that there are 4 lot of misplaced furnace thermo-| stats kicking around the bomes|.

Now frankly it's none of our business how much snow and ice you allow to accumulate on the walks and steps to your house, but we might as well point out that if someone should slip and break a leg while on your property he or she can sue you. In the long run it's easier to remove the ice and snow or at least sprinkle some sand or ashes around. You can melt the stuff by sprinkling either - calcium chloride or rock salt mixed in
