Re: Balancing
Perhaps now that all the leaks are fixed, the air can not get out as it used to.
Any air vents at the end of main or is there a receiver pump that might not be piped correctly so as to vent air?

Re: Steam Boiler
Fill the boiler to the top. You will know instantly if the heat exchanger/boiler block is leaking. As you can imagine, those pictures don't look kosher.
Re: Warm Morning gas vented heater, flue spill issue with gas safety valve
are you sure it isn't a manual reset or bad spill switch? if spill switches are tripping someone that understands combustion and draft should look at it.

Re: 2psi propane
That is an incredibly false statement. Not everybody wants to run 1" lines across the whole building when it's a fraction of the price and half the labor to run 1/2" and add a 3rd stage reg. Might as well knock it down to 12" with the first stage at the tank, by that logic. Obviously a small home with a 40k forced air furnace and nothing else gas is a different story, but in the age where everybody has a 199k tankless as well as a boiler and/or furnace w/ fireplace and gas range, 2# inside is almost a necessity.

Re: Anyone know about disassembly of these full-port Webstone (Nibco) ball valves?
a $20 valve with $25 of press fittings attached… you have to leave an access panel for the valve if you drywall over it.(although i am very much in favor of ceiling tile in basements because you always have to get in to the ceiling)

Re: New Thermostat
The old thermostat was not the reason for the short cycling…unless someone with busy fingers really messed up the anticipator.
