IF YOU THINK A GOOD HVAC COMPANY IS EXPENSIVE. THEN YOU SHOULD TRY A BAD ONE.

That is pretty damn nice work.
Are those ProPress FIttings on the copper?
Professional Member
None of that was difficult... just zapped them with a pro-press....... but seeing everything layed out so well and properly supported is very nice.

I think the house is about 22,000 square feet. There are 12 geo thermal units, and probably 30 to 40 radiant zones but some of those are towel bars, shower walls and under tubs. The link below is a pic of the house when it was under construction and they decided they didn't like how close to the road it was so they moved it back about 100'.Originally Posted by BaldLoonie

Looks like an industrial installation. Given the size of the property... it's not far off.
I'd think the way the piping hangers were done will make it hard to install insulation.

That's awsome work, but what's even more amazing is that someone could not only afford to build a place like that but also abandon a brand new foundation and spend the $ to move the joint! - Mind boggling. More power to 'em I guess if it keeps the economy rolling.
Remember, some poor fool has to work on what you install someday, and it might even be you.

You think with all the money spent on those mechanicals, they could have bought a label maker to label those zones. Very nice and neat work.

It's an early 94 with the last of the mechanical diesels (called InDirect Injection) and a factory turbo. In mid 94, Ferd switched to the Powerstroke and retired the workhorse IDI. The Plow is an 8ft fisher commercial, the body is a Knapheide, don't remember the brand of the top boxes. and the gate is a Theiman. The ladder rack is a homebrew.
I've put this truck thru hell over the years, but it's always been good to me. I bought it at about 5 months old with 3 or 4K on the odo, and right now it's sitting right around 290,000. It's had the usual stuff for something with this mileage, like 5 sets of tires, a radiator, injection pump, 2nd clutch, and 7 or 8 sets of brakes. (It's hilly around here and she sits at 9300lb's.) I did all sorts of mods to it, from tweaked injection pump to straight exhaust and larger turbine housing and outlet, gauges, it used to have propane on it, and a few other goodies to increase to go factor.
Now I just mosey it along and hope it holds up. I was ready in 08 for a new one, but they had a lotta trouble with the new 6.4 and this year I'm just pinching pennies and trying to keep the bills paid. Besides, I live in a super property tax enviro and just don't want the $1600 bill for a new rig when this one works just fine and still looks OK.(The house taxes are enough to keep me sucked dry, and not in a good way.)
That's about it. I'll keep rockin this old beast it either gives up the ghost(not likely) or something nicer comes along reasonably priced. (also not likely)
Here's a couple pics, and sry for the threadjacking.
