Yes sir I did! Tech said they needed to change the 15amp breaker switch on the furnace to a 20amp switch. Also taped up all the connections to the furnace as he said he felt hot air leaking all around the furnace which he felt was causing the furnace to get to hot. Seems to be working like a champ now. Out in Willams AZ and some nights already down to 25 and furnace was working. Here is the part number they used for the new switch. Click image for larger version

They can plug it in and check outside lights...no need to check anything inside.

I winterized the plumbing, replaced a halogen light bulb in the kitchen with a LED type, I replaced 2 - 1156 light bulbs in fixture over the table with LED's, I replaced the selector switch in the A/C & installed the heat strip in the A/C I pulled the batteries from the smoke alarm and the TV remote. Put her to bed for the next couple of months.

I ordered one too but if you look at that thing it would be a royal PITA to replace it. You’re going to probably have to remove the furnace to gain access.

Yea, not the easiest thing to replace. The tech was able to shimmy the furnace around on the shelf to replace it, as water lines and what not were in the way. May take some patience for sure. The pic below was after he put it back into position on the shelf. He then reconnected the lines to it and taped them all up so little to no heat was escaping. Click image for larger version

Loaded it back up for our upcoming trip after Christmas. Also added a shower tower (body spa) to the bathroom.

Replaced the Coleman Mach thermostat with a Honeywell. Prepping for a trip after Christmas, to visit the DW’s family.

More Lighting!

I finally got to the lighting needs in the master bedroom. The DW says that I'm a lighting snob. I say BRING IT!!

These lights came from amazon and I'm pretty happy with the results - truth is the DW is very happy too!!

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Merry Christmas to all

Were you able to fish wires from the LED lights above the middle of the bed back to the new lights?
Looks really neat.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Waiting impatiently for it to get out of the dealer for warranty work. 2 months and counting. DW and I are going to have to stay with our DS family in their trailer for our New Years trip. [emoji51]

Yes it was easy to use the old coat hanger trick to fish the wires. Just tapped into the interrogation lights that will, probably, never be turned on ever again!

I might end up installing a couple of switches near the front corners to power these. We'll see if it becomes too much of a hassle to tap once for blue then again for the warmish white. These are supposed to remember the last condition they were in, when powered on. My only minor criticism would be that the dimmest setting could be even dimmer. Still quite happy.
