Is there guidelines for placement of thermostats? Outside walls? Not over baseboards? I didn't know Fedex delivered on Sunday, happy they did. I got all day to figure it out now.

RowCropRenegade said:Thanks for the details, heaterman. I've got 2/3 mounted and wires run. The last one I'm mulling over 2 or 3 different spots. The bedroom is last on this particular loop. I'm thinking about putting it in there. There isn't a good central location for that loop.
Funny how a little computer can cause the entire system to not work right.

The BR is on the south side. 3 big windows, heavy curtains covering them all the time. It also sits on its on "wing" from the rest of the house. It's generally the coldest room in the house. These rooms all are in a straight line from each other. The den (20x20 and has LP log fireplace), my office (10x15), the bathroom (5x10) then the bedroom(22x22). You see my dilema.
Thanks for the wishes. I hope you can take something away from this thread, too.
Because of the next snow storm coming in, both electrician and HVAC will be here tomorrow. Maybe see some pumps by weeks end!

The project has went from a self employed farmers project to a possible showroom for sales of Garns. Hence, datalogging and max custom control is been upgraded from low priority to high priority. It's difficult to discuss the ins and outs of the decisions I made but it sounded very interesting. Apparently there are quite a few grants that will pay for solar hot water in ohio. Ohio is pushing them to reach the mandate set for 2010. The Garn makes alot of sense for alot of solar collectors. The Tekmar ties in nicely here. I could eliminate burning wood in the late spring/summer/fall and charge up the big barn floor/tanks.

I am just leaving the option open. Which means selecting the right controller. I've washed my hands of it for the most part. I'm moving on to retrofitting my sprayer with a new high tech gadget. It's magical ability is to prevent pressure drop across my 75 ft boom. Being able to variable droplet size without changing tips, from the cab. I'll post it here in the boiler room once it's in operation. Sprayermen speak some of the same lingo.
My design guru eliminated the primary pump/closely spaced Tees. Turning my primary circuit into two different headers. His feelings was the primary/secondary setup wasn't necessarily benefitting me. The rationale is draw only the btus out of the garn that is exactly required. I liked the idea of taking tees back to the store and not needing a 43-44 which are 250. I'm supposed to be getting a diagram, will post as its in my hands.
Been reading, just haven't been posting. No news here other than lots of snow and no "Garn-ification"
