I have to go out and buy a new thermostat this week because my old one finally tore up on me.
It’s been in the house where I’m living ever since I moved in about ten years ago.
Honestly, I can’t believe that it has lasted as long as it has! I really don’t even know how long it was here before I moved in. for all I know, that thermostat has been in the house ever since the house was built. I think that it’s probably one of the ugliest thermostat units I have ever seen, but it has definitely served its purpose over the years here. I don’t think that they make things the way that they used to, because I bet if I bought a new thermostat today it would tear up within five or six years. That’s just how things are these days. I truly believe that we are dealing with a lot of items that are seen as throwaway instead of being built to last like they used to be. I guess that kind of ages me a little bit but that’s the way it seems to be nowadays. I guess I sound like a mean old lady who is complaining about kids these days and that’s really not the best thing to do. I mean, there’s really nothing to do about it whenever the old appliances wear out other than to just go out and buy a new one. That’s the only thing to do, really. I know that Whichever thermostat I end up buying tomorrow is probably not going to last for a long time, but I don’t really have much of a choice at this point since my other one is dead!
