Broken Thermostat

We were moving some furniture around last week and literally took the face right off our thermostat. That little hole in the middle is where the white pivot control piece goes and it broke off.

Not exactly sure what I'm blogging around this, I'm just finding new knowledge of thermostats and how the mercury controls the coils which turns the heat on and off...fascinating.

Off to the hardware store where Stan is gonna hook us up with a new piece.
