those powered appliance carts are great for these pigs!!

i am laughing very hard

I never laughed so hard. i took a boiler out one time ouch never do that again have fun i agree with the other guy get it in several pieces that is what we did. it was still hard and i was sore for a week.

The pics of that old boiler make me feel sorry for being the companys " boiler" guy, i know that i am the one to get that job, lucky me.

Nice work by the boys there too.

THE CHAIN

Seems to me by the surrounding soot marks around the boiler door, that the oil burner was experiencing delayed ignition and blowing the door open. Boy what people will do to save a buck or two!

Nice looking installation!

And don't forget the go-nad shield!! lol

That's not all

I also felt good unloading all that cast iron out of my truck without getting hurt!

makes you feel good looking at the before & after pics I bet!

Update

We changed it out about a month ago. She sledged apart nicely and was in the back of my truck by 11 am.




Here is the new install, the boys had her up and running by 5:30 the same night.

Can you get me one more season out of it, I want to get a new on the 12th of never

check end of chain for beautiful young virgin .


hell i,d settle for an old one'

That's the sunflower we were referring to. After much debate we still haven't come to an agreement on what it was actually for. So we think it was just an artisitic "touch".

whats up the with the flue collar. is that some old trick or something....

The Sunflower- Industrial art

I am going to save that labour of love someone built, then sell it to the Canadian Arts Council for 1.2 million.

I've seen things like that flower before. It may be an attempt at making those fins like on coils to recover heat from the flue.

Many of us thought it was for decorative purposes. You know kind of a "sunflower" in the crawl space.

I have been working in construction since I could walk and in HVAC since I was 14 (30 years) and have seen the "sunflower" pattern once before, but it was nothing as elaborate as this. It almost looks as though someone was trying to make a collar and a self cooling connector at the same time.
