Beach,Why can't you install a mixer? Or is the question really, is this house going to be worth all the work?
For some reason, a lot of folks in the forum are looking at houses right now, and the holidays being over, it is time to talk about heating, plumbing and electricity--so maybe the time is right to reflect on the more mundane aspects of life--
For myself, I am trying to figure out if there is anything I can do to get the family room and the basement warmer, and the bedrooms cooler--the obvious things have not helped-it is a forced air system, electric--
