i was trying to figure out why the oil burner wouldn't work.
haven't used it for almost two years.... which rather sucks...
to tell ya the truth... Playing Paul Bunyan with the wood detail every signal day is getting old...
and then some
so i figured out why it wasn't getting juice.... got it running again
started to build pressure but the air bleeder valves on say 3 out of 6 radiators
need to be replaced as they are leaking out the
bottom
not where they screw into the radiators...
so....
how much do those cost...? i know where to get them. though
I can handle that part....
but then i started to shut down the ones
that were leaking thinking to isolate them out of the system to generate some heat with the non leaking ones and cranked down the old style shut offs ....and Since i don't know to much about heating systems or friggan radiators (obviously) i was then delighted to discover that the over flow pipe on the furnace.... was flooding the basement....
son of a beyotch
oh boy - winter fun.... maybe i should just flood the cellar ,buy some skates and play
HOCKEY down there.... ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
is it Pats game yet?
