The Boiler System


This Christmas season, Bill and Christian have completed their efforts installing the new boiler/heating system in Christian's old farmhouse. We have ended up with six zones which include forced hot air, radiant wall and hydronic radiant floor heat, and indirect domestic hot water. We will hire help to install the duct work and air handler. The red and green parts kept it festive looking here.

My jobs have been to clean the non-removable duct work and design the hydronic floor heating system, which kept the holidays busy...but not too busy to dress up the dog Anders. Happy holidays!

Using a Transom Window


Christian has started opening his transom window to let warm air into the house on sunny days he is working in the basement. The trim on this large window is primed and flashed now.




Here is the work going on in the basement...building the heating system. Bill and Christian have also repaired all of the burst copper plumbing pipes in the basement besides reinstalling very long ones removed in order to dig out the new crawlspace.
