Definitely will make it out there someday. Coffee sounds like a good trade.

That fixed it. Maybe the circulation pump lost power and someone opened that valve to get some gravity heat. I closed it and the room was down to 52 degrees this morning. I tested the heater to make sure the valve was functioning and the baseboards are getting hot. Thanks so much for your help...

Okay, I went down and checked that valve again. The thumbscrew was all the way open. I did a little reading and I believe it should be closed to prevent gravity circulation. It screwed down fairly easy so we'll see in the morning if the room has cooled down. I'll check back tomorrow with more...
