Just dropped way more cash than I had planned on for a complete chimney teardown and rebuild including firebox and throat.

Not to mention the need to hire a chimney sweep, a fireplace insert or wood stove if you expect to capture some of the heat before it goes up the chimney, a maid to do the extra dusting and window washing, covered wood storage, extra pest control measures. Maybe Don would be better served by a gas fireplace or converting to gas or oil heating which could be run from a small generator. Even a coal fired steam boiler could do the trick. A maid to clean? Have you not seen the pictures of his house??? Yes I have. Shame on him. -- 1-20-13 The end of an error we have a generator, but unlike our last house, this water pump is set up for 220 not 110 so the gen wont' run it, whcih means we can't run the furnace. We are cooking and running ceramic heaters but no shower etc.... Sorry to hear of your dilemma but I wonder why you need water pressure to run your heating system? hot water fired boiler, must be a bad valve, the pressure went down in the baseboards... OK There might be something you can do to get your heater going. You will need to get AN AC or DC water pump capable of producing water pressure of at least 40 lbs. You can use plain water to refill but You might want to make your heating system freeze proof by using a non toxic antifreeze mixture. Obviously you need to replace the check valve first and make sure the feed shut off valve works. After you finish filling and purging you might want to turn the feed shutoff valve off and monitor pressure for a while to make sure you have no leaks. You want to record the cold pressure and make sure it doesn't go below the minimum required for your system. See now. I think you must know a lot about this stuff. How about coming up (or down as the case may be) and winterizing my trailer? You need someone to drain your tanks? -- 1-20-13 The end of an error- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - .... and drain the 4 stroke oil from his gas tank... or was that 2 stroke oil from the engine sump? It sure gets confusing, eh Johnny? More egg on Donny's face. Trailers don't have engines. Some of the bigger ones have generators but they need to be exercised monthly so why bother winterizing them. As far as boats go, you know about as much as Harry does. And that ain't much. Maybe Donnie has an engine on his trailer. But he does seem confused about some damn thing! This from a guy who wanted to know if he could use two cycle oil in his four cycle outboard, wanted to winterize his outboard with WD-40, and got a "great deal" on a poorly equipped and poorly prepared boat from a dealer who took shortcuts to increase his profit? I don't know that much about John's skills but I do know the guy sitting in front of your keyboard can't do much more than punch keys and operate that dumb coffee maker of yours. Which reminds me to tell you to clean that sink or we'll think you are as big a slob as Donnie. Happy thanksgiving. -- 1-20-13 The end of an error- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Yeah but...who the 'ell cares about what y'all think?? You do, or else you wouldn't be here, Suckling Don the Coward.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - I come here for amusement and lowbrow entertainment. In the past there were some helpful boating tips floating around... but y'all sure have killed that. |
