    Electric Baseboard Heater - New Thermostat Installed - Cycling Often

    :clap: It's a 240v hermostat with heat sync and all so I'm assuming line.. Someone elsewhere said it's Normal because that's how it maintains precise temp by keeping the unit from getting too cold..

    Electric Baseboard Heater - New Thermostat Installed - Cycling Often

    Basement door strike plate screws into concrete wall

    There is only a 2 by 4 (door frame) between the door and the concrete wall... I bought a 4 screw security strike plate for the dead bolt lock, and have to screw into the concrete to make the door much stronger with 3 inch screws... I have a regular drill, and plenty of bits... It is a battery...
