Antique Phone / Thermostat Box

Here is a simple project that didn’t require much more than a drill and a screwdriver.  I was given this old telephone that belonged to my great grandmother and decided to hang it on the wall like it would have been decades ago.  We don’t have a landline installed in our house so I wasn’t able to make it functional like I wanted, just kidding, so instead I used it as a way to hide the ugly thermostat which luckily fit perfectly inside.

All I had to do was drill a hole in the back of the phone, remove the thermostat, fish the thermostat wires through the phone, and then reinstall the thermostat inside the phone.
