Larry, I don't yet, but my friend Phil who's got a large format printer and does some incredible landscape photography has offered to print something up for me.

Shadow, it's basically a fairly dense radiator and an IR receiver for the thermostat, so, yeah, if the mechanism ever breaks it'd be easy to jam it into the open position.

Do you have a specific piece of art or photo that you are putting in the frame?

So, can you prop it in the open position when the gimmicky mechanism dies on you?

(Big fan of the KISS principle.)

I had no idea what it looked like, 'cause it's a shop, but I now have more reason to trust the judgement of Robert Grupé, of Grupé Bros. heating & plumbing.

That is really neat. I just had ductless A/C installed last summer. Is it ever ugly. I wish I had known about this as an option.

And when I say "picture frame", I need to post a video of this thing opening and closing, but here's a picture of it open, when the unit is turned on:
