Ok Santa, we're ready for you.

 Today,  Bundy helped me install a chimney.  Technically the chimney was already there, but we did install a chimney liner and extend the chimney out through the roof.  Now the boiler/burner has a place to exhaust through.

I'm one step close to having a warm house this winter.

  

Fire in the hole.

     Today Bob came out to the house and began the boiler/ burner install.

    While he was fitting pipes to the inlet and outlet side of the boiler, I bought the fuel tank around leveled it up on the side patio and ran a new fuel line and shut off valve.

By the time I had completed that, Bob had installed the circulator, the expansion tank, the boiler drain valve, and the water fill line, as well as installing a pressure relief valve and a check valve. He also installed two shut off ball valves so that we could fill the boiler with water and test for leaks.

After testing for leaks, Bob installed a new fuel filter, purged the lines, and bled the air out of the system.

Finally, Bob fired up the boiler.  What a big milestone today.

Up and Running(water that is)

     I finally got around to photographing the plumbing for the upstairs bathroom, the new wasteline, and the kitchen sink. With the new electric water heater hooked up we've got nice hot water coming out of the faucets everything is working as it should.

    Bundy even reconnected the wasteline to the septic tank outside with all new PVC pipes and fittings.
