Re: 100+ Year Old Steam Boiler
@Mad Dog_2
I think your right. I don't think I ever replaced one that was replaced because it leaked. We used to take a hammer and bust the asbestos off of them. Then slide the top section off and hope it didn't smash the cellar floor, or the oil line lol. I think we got smart and brought a couple of old car tires and tried to land them on those. How they ever lifted the top section on those to assemble them I would like to know. I remember one top section it took 4 of us to get it up the stairs,

Re: Would you hire this Spammer to fix/replace your Boiler?
2000 billable hours is what you tell techs you are riding and flogging. It comes along with "this company isn't turning a profit". I spent 2 years at an 8-10 truck company pulling in flat rate and fixed bids way over the stated calculated hourly and every meeting we were told the company was losing money. 24 months of straight loss is running a charity and it wasn't true. Top heavy overhead and with two to three $100K trucks a year built, it's a laughable dishonesty. There's a lot of head games in that 2000 hours talk. On the flip side the logic for profitability is in there.
