Pretty simple, it's working to your satisfaction... or it's not.

If so, leave it be.
If not... make a phone call to find out why its not.

Wow, that was hard..

Good idea Ben!

I nominate Ben to answer all the HO questions that come in with the
appropriate response!

fracking years of HO's asking how to wire a
tstat.

My last post....
I find it it very interesting there seem to be so many frustrated
people adding to this forum. Why are you even answering at all? If
you are so fed up with answering what you think are stupid questions,
don't answer. One day you will need someone elses advice, auto
mechanic, Lawyer, Dr. I don't care. I only hope they respond to you
in the same professional and curteous manner.
