Re: Long term designed and supported mod-con fantasy?
True, but in 40 years (and probably 20) you won't be able to buy a boiler. Just like today you can't buy a new 3/4 ton SUV or mechanical Cummins.
If you’re predicting the end of the boiler industry in 20 years, I think that’s a strong argument no boilers should be installed today, no matter how long they may last. Otherwise, you’ll be stranded!
Re: Correcting the code inspector
There's all kinds of inspectors. Most of them are good guys (& gals), but you come across a bad apple from time to time. I always start out with the assumption that they're looking out for me, since I don't want to it wrong. If that proves not to be the case, well, sometimes they just want to talk, or show you how smart they (think) they are. I figure I'm paid to deal with them as much as I am able. Sometimes, though, I gotta buck it up to the office. It really helps that Big Daddy is neighbors with the previous chief building official...

Turn the thermostat way up and wait your bubbles should be gone in an hour or two.

Re: The last word about c-wire thermostats and wiring diagrams.
Can you define travelers and poles for me?A traveler is a person that is taking a trip away from home. They may take a short trip of an hour or so, but those folks are usually called commuters. Traveler is usually reserved for those that are away for weeks at a time.
As far as Poles are concerned, those folks are from a country in Eastern Europe that is just west of Ukraine and Belarus and east of Germany and just north of the Czech Republic and Slovakia. and just south of Lithuania and the Baltic Sea. Many Poles are Travelers but not all Travelers are Poles.
I hope that helps you get a better understanding of that situation.

Re: Understanding heat flows in high mass heating systems in old houses
I try to put @jesmed1 on some tracks, but that train keeps bringing him back here.
Reminds me of the time I was singing on the job and a gentleman asked me "if I ever wanted to be on the Stage".
I replied "YES"
He told me "There is a stage leaving at Noon, and he would appreciate it if I was on it."
Watching too many old westerns

For one, cars are certainly more durable then before. People will pay for quality!
