    I know the area very well and couldn’t agree more. It still could be developed into something however it will not be an RV storage. I am in hopes that whatever is eventually put there is more visually appealing than very large steel buildings.

    Bear in mind that there is an entire neighborhood on the hill just above the property in question. No amount of landscaping will block the view of large expanses of concrete an warehouse style roofs from those homes. I don’t live there but I know people who do and have seen the view from above.

    Just wanted to let you know the planning commission found that the project did not fit in C1 not even with a conditional use permit rejecting the planning directors recommendation.

    I have an extra Venstar thermostat with a dial-up connection. No problems with it, it has worked great for the last three years. The voice prompt will tell you the current temperature and allow you to remotely adjust the temp. Very easy to set-up. It works like a cordless phone: Plug the phone line into the transmitter and a small receiver into a connection port on the thermostat. The kit normally goes for over $200. Let me know if you are interested and I’m sure we can work something out.

    I just completed a major upgrade to the site software. It took about 20 seconds and no problems…. I sure am glad I made the switch!!!

    Thanks so much for all the suggestions. I will research them in the next day or so and will post any questions.

    We just installed a Honeywell Wi-Fi 7-Day Programmable Touchscreen Thermostat – RTH8580WF. It works well. We also just installed a MERV16 filter to help clean the air in the house.

    I installed an Aube thermostat controller a few years ago at our BTV home. Inexpensive, simple to install, and operates via telephone. I “call my furnace” before leaving home in Santa Cruz and the house is toasty when we arrive. I leave it in vacation mode @ 40 when not there and bump to comfort @ 70. We also updated our furnace 4 years ago with a high efficiency unit installed by EPG and now use less than 1/2 the propane annually.

    We installed the 3M/Filtrete 3M-50 last year at the cabin and liked it enough to replace the flatlands house with the same model. It’s nice to adjust the temperature from the couch, or road.

    I had Paul Bertini install a dial up thermostat 3 years ago . Works on the land line, not the internet. Very easy, reliable. Has never failed.

    I have both Honeywell and Radiothermostat both work great. No real differences. Even when you lose the internet they still function and hold your last setting, no big deal. Before we leave the Bay Area for the cabin we set the desired temp and when we arrive it’s all heated in the winter or cooled in the summer. Easy setup, easier then cameras!

    I was also going to suggest the Nest. It is getting rave reviews.

    Of course, one of the big problems is that almost always when we loose power, we loose internet. I know some folks have a dialup connection to their thermostat.
