i just looked at a job this evening --thermostat wires are shorted they only used 2 conductor---running a new wire is not an option indoors-- what kind of remote thermostats does honeywell have --looking for heat only simple elegant remote thermostat---i want to put the receiver in the boiler room and the remote in a room 25 ft away ---operating a v8043 zone valve

Bill-I know Honeywell's T7300 series can be used with a remote sensor, but it's an expensive puppy. I think I have a better solution for you. I use the Johnson A419 control to do everything but slice bread. It can be used as a heating or cooling control, has a temp range from 30-212F, can be powered with 110, 220, or 24v, has a set of no/nc contacts, and the remote sensor can be located up to 500 feet away using sheilded cable. You can use the 2 conductor you have to connect the sensor (sheilded cable is recommended if you're running in a ceiling with lights that might cause interference, but it sounds like that should'nt be a problem for you here). I mount the sensor in a Honeywell sensor cover for looks. I pay about $50.00 for the control, and about $20. for the cover. I think you will find the A419 a VERY useful control. Hope this helps-Good Luck!
