Two DS18B20 Temp Sensors on LCD Display!

We are finally posting our multi DS18B20 Temp Sensor LCD project. Right now we are monitoring two sensors on one data pin, but could add many such sensors. Just need to add the additional chip id numbers to the code. We will experiment with wire length and outdoor mounting in the near future. Please review and comment.
