Thanks for the help earlier with a plumbing schematic. I just thought I would post and give all of you on here something to smile about. We were anxiously awaiting the delivery of our new boiler to my husband's work place because we didn't know exactly what day it would arrive, just that it would be soon. So he goes into work one evening and two guys from the shipping dept. tell him that the boiler is here. Off he goes to check it out. Well as it was all boxed up he didn't want to unwrap it until he got it home, so he just moved it out of the way. After he came back from helping one of his guys with a problem he finds another guy starting to unpack it. Since the guy had all ready half undone it he thought well they might as well finish the job. So they undo the rest of the packing and low and behold it wasn't the boiler after all. It actually was a high pressure coolant tank for a new machine (I think that is what it is called) that the shop had just gotten in. We were thankful that the guy had gotten curious and started unpacking it before he brought it home. I could just picture our faces if he had brought it home on the trailer and we were all set to unpack it and lower it into the basement. What a surprise that would have been.
And just an update, the boiler is finally here, a little messed up on the outside but that was the fault of the shipping company. :long: We have it lowered into the basement and almost all hooked up. Hopefully tomorrow we will get it finished. :cheese: It will be nice to have the extra heat back that our radiant floor provides. We have been missing it during this cold weather. I have decided that winter is not the best time to replace a boiler but you have to do what you have to. We were just going to hook it up to the existing heating system but realized that would not work as it was missing several very important features, such as a boiler overheat loop and a way to protect the boiler from thermal shock among other things. Oh well, there goes our budget out the window but at least when it is done we will be warmer again. After we finish getting it online then comes storage.
Thanks for the help.
