Whole-House Humidifier

The house has a humidifier built into the furnace. The inspector actually turned it off before we even bought the house, because it was leaking. I spent a little time cleaning it up and replaced the filter last night and turned it back on. It seems to be working fine now, and humidity went up from 25% last night to 33% this morning. It seems like I'll be able to tie it into the Nest Thermostat fairly easily as well, but I have not done that yet.

The Humidifier. It's ugly, but seems to work.
Speaking of the Nest Thermostat, tying in the common wire has completely solved the low battery problem, and the house has NOT in fact burned down. So there's that.

Finally, as a bonus for post without much content, here's a picture of Eva helping me clean up crumbs from this morning's toast:
