Re: Mystery odor, baseboard loop
Hi, Are there any vents on the baseboard in the living space? Can she describe more fully just what the odor is like? Can you take a sample of the water and have her smell it? Perhaps she has a particularly sensitive nose.
If it's not the water, what's at the baseboard, or what's happening in the space under the bb? Maybe a skunk is living in the crawlspace? Air sealing could help if infiltration is a real problem.
Now for the wild thoughts: Aliens, Bigfoot, Pigpen, and/or Capybara.
Yours, Larry

Re: Recip / Sawzalls
I like the 20 volt dewalt because of the different blade configurations. It's nice to be able to load sideways.
I also have an older Milwaukee Super Sawzall for my bigger screwups.

Re: Old Boiler Dating
I resent that remark @mattmia2, I already have a 62 year old girlfriend, I would never think of cheating on her. Except for maybe an Ideal Red Top... Red heads are the downfall of just about every IrishmenDating old boilers? I would definitely consider dating younger boilers. Sure, they won't last nearly as long. But maintenance should be much easier. Only the grey haired, mature gentlemen, have the necessary know how to maintain those old girls.I was waiting for @EdTheHeaterMan to make that joke.
Re: Heating device ID
I think the booties are more protection from what is on the subfloor.

Re: Problem with short-cycling, low water, and leaks
All of which is why I gave up trying to teach physics and thermodynamics long ago...
Re: Wrapped up my Brother's Job
Want to Thank "The Colonel," my good friend, Licensed Master Plumber, Harlan Wenk for working 💪 with me on this during a cold spell. Also want to Thank Young Billy Terrell, Joey Gange (my old helper) and Dan Mc Cann for the hand. The Clamster...on technical advice. I give us an A minus. Didn't have the luxury of extra time, et cetera.
I wired it all up and planned to mount a duplex electrical outlet on the board as there is no outlets in the room, but I guess we wore out our welcome...ha ha 😉 😜 😀 😄 Dan always said, "Don't work for fambly, your church or synagogue, or contractors!"
