Cheaper than renting, federal tax deduction on the mortgage interest and a place to call your own. How sweet it is!

That is cool. My wife and I are looking to do the same type of thing in about 8 months, once our lease ends. Keep us posted on upgrades.

3 bedroom ceilings painting, 2bedrooms painted.
So it turns out I can't stand painting. After spending some time in this house I REALLY like it.

Nest is installed.
AC wasn't working, turns out we have a flip switch for the AC unit. We never could figure out with that switch was until nest told me we had no power on the R wire... Smart thermostat indeed. Full review coming after we get wifi and gather some data.

After a year in the making... I'm sleeping my first night in our new house!! I think I'm going to start a build thread instead of continuing this one. I just wanted to document the search. And it's over!

No, I want to get a certain amount of prep done first. That and you can't walk all through because of the boxes.
Also with the IR cameras you want a difference in outside and inside temp right? Its not stated but I believe you'd want a bit of a difference to be able to tell whats in and outside air.
