Quotes to support my discovery:

"Caracticus Potts: Mm? Oh. Do you think I'm a lunatic, wasting my time on a lot of silly inventions?
Jemima: But they aren't silly! They're wonderful!
Jeremy: Nobody else can think of them."

"Willy Wonka: [making a mysterious formula] Invention, my dear friends, is 93% perspiration, 6% electricity, 4% evaporation, and 2% butterscotch ripple.
Mrs. Teevee: [as Mr. Wonka drinks the formula] That's 105%!
Sam Beauregarde: Any good?
Willy Wonka: [smacks his lips, then speaks in falsetto] Yes."
This is an interesting photo because it happens to be the only piece of polycarbonate I had to cut in the whole curtain wall. I cut it to fit and then I set the table saw to 45 degrees and and cut a chunk but not through the polycarbonate to get a nice fold in the corner.

However, that zone will be particularly easy to heat with low temperature supply water.
I don't plan on changing the temperature I currently operate at.

Incidentally that plywood wall is from our previous apartment that I reused.

I will try to get some current pictures posted soon and more of a narrative.
