How difficult was that to install? Also I'm curious to see how it effects your utilities bill

You would need something more than just a pair of air conditioners to set that up tho....or nah?...I can't see how that little thing would control my ACs and my heater in the winter...lol

But i control the joint from my phone.

I got the Ecobee3 on Friday, but ran into a problem with installing it. I have a common wire in the wall, but it's not hooked up to anything at the furnace. Gotta get somebody out to get that hooked up...my furnace doesn't appear to be as straightforward as most, and there isn't a lot of room to see what all the wires are hooked up to and where they go.Installed my Nest today.

Jesus man, that's insane. Seems like you could get a complete re-wire to the thermostat plus a new furnace and AC unit for that much. Granted, where I'm at we have central AC and heat...not sure about wherever you're at. I'm sure it gets a little more expensive if the units aren't centralized like mine are. I have a pretty good idea of what I need done to make mine work, just don't trust myself enough yet to make it happen (especially with this furnace since I can't clearly see where the wires are connected). Last thing I want to do is short out some wires and have to pay to get things redone.
I'm gonna be on the road for about 15 straight weeks though...unfortunately all of these wifi enabled thermostats seem to need a C wire to operate properly. I want to be able to operate my thermostat remotely, so I guess that's an expense I'm going to have to take on at some point.

I do a sleeper sofa and I love it.
I also do a room divider to turn it into a 1 bedroom
Both purchased from Ikea. Unless you own your place I swear by Ikea

Mattress quality is decent, but I am not a light/picky sleeper
I tried doing the mattress and sofa thing separate and it soaked up way too much room...That look when you bring a girl over and she like I wish you had a bed, and you tell her hold up
Please let me know if you have any other questions/suggestions. I love studio life.
