    Getting low on money and I still want to do some mods. Any ideas for something cheap? Preferring something interior, but think of anything you can. Send me some links of ideas or just tell me.

    How about buying a remote reading thermometer? I had a wireless one but it didn't work out so I am using a wired one and it works great! Cost me $10.
