My happy place with the pantry installed
Now it's looking like a cuisine. Is that the garburator installed already. Me thinks when I get home I'll get my mom one of those Hwell roundies. Right now she only has a cheap rectangular T-stat with a temp lever on the side which cannot be set with any precision and I remember once when I was back home she said she didn't like it and preferred the old round one. I'd thought of getting her a fancier setback/digital but she's in her 80's, home all the time, and the latest and greatest in techno doesn't work for her.
Those are so dainty drawers you got there Jasonl!

Petek, even the analog roundie is better than most other analog t-stats and even better than some cheap digital ones. The Digital Roundie is top notch when it comes to simple setting and comfort.
Clean, they're just natural colored drawers, a little brown but they work just fine.

Just remember to wash and rinse your new drawers before their first use.
Sawdust and contaminants are itchy.

Sawdust would be irritating if they were in my drawers. My utensils would not be happy in such conditions.
Honey is sweet, but the General controls....
One of these General Controls analog thermostats was installed in this 1940 era home when I moved it. It worked fine, but I wanted a set-back type, which saves energy.
There was also a spare unit packaged in original box, with product tag and full instructions.
PS-the cabinets look great.

I remember those, Suds! I don't think I've ever seen a round digital Honeywell, but that's very cool. I had one called a "Magic Stat" once, a digital setback type that was really good, to replace one of those useless rectangular ones. I have a rectangular one here, but all it does is regulate the wallheater once in a while, and for that it's fine. It's also very old, and probably made well.
Jason, your kitchen and house is shaping up great. I see a "Badger" has already taken up residence under your sink though. LOL! What kind of kitchen appliances are you going to get? Glad to see you have two washer hose hookups. Has the washer/dryer been chosen?

Back in the 80's I bought an analog set-back thermostat. It had an analog clock (well, quartz) that ran on batteries. This clock had little tabs you could move for on/off settings throughout the day, kind of like a plug in electric timer. It worked for about five years, and then the clock stopped having enough oomph to flip the on/off switches. I tried another digital set back thermostat but it wasn't very good, either. Finally I got a Lux 1500 about 10 years ago, and it's been great ever since.
Lux 1500
Check out the temp - that's from around middday, with no heating, no A/C, no fans, windows open all the time. I love this Bay Area climate!

Do you find tht the room temp is actually 2*F lower than the shown temp?
In my LUX, I think the heat of the electronics throws off the setting.
I like the ease-of-use. In my old place the thermostat controlled a relay that sent power to an outlet for an in-the-wall A/C. (making it respond to room temp, not coil temp).
In my new place it contrls the oil-fired steam heating and the separate electric central A/C.

My home has a 'heat-pump'. Several years ago, the electric company offered a free digital thermostat when you allowed them to do an energy audit. They told you what needed to be fixed for greater energy efficiency, as well as offering a 'free' upgrade to a digital thermostat. I took them up on the offer, only to find out a year later that the replacement thermostat 'bit the dust' and ended up replacing with the exact same at a cost of $150. Has worked flawlessly since.
Summertime keep the air in 74 degrees...winter I heat at 67 degrees. I am able to vary the temps by time of day and days of the week with this Honeywell.

So many exhibitionists on this site.LOL
Live and learn.
I thought my geographic area was the northern-most place to use a heat pump, otherwise the efficiency suffers.
But I suppose when you are near the center of the state, (near Hartford, CT) and electric rates are 25% less for you than for me, this is do-able.
Thanks for sharing and posting a pic!

No, I don't find a big difference between the display temp and the temp as displayed by separate thermometers. What seems to make the biggest difference in perceived warmpth in the winter is my level of physical activity and general health.
The Lux 1500 has an adjustment that you can use to have the on/off temps kick in above or below the set temp. Mine was pretty close but I tweaked it anyway.
