Re: Cool books
Ed, how about "Cool Hot Books". I guess one should read them to prevent a recipe for disaster.
Re: How to turn off a boiler for the summer?
What's replacing the expelled air?BobC said:i used a dehumidifier in my basement for a few years but when the cost of electricity started to ramp up I knew i had to find a better solution. My cellar windows are 3 pane so I took out a middle pain on one and replaced it with plexiglass with a 4" hole and a 4-1/2" 100ccf muffin fan. That fan runs all summer and gets rid of most of the humidity down there, it uses a lot less juice than that dehumidifier did. I the winter I cover the fan with a plate to close that opening off. Bob

Re: Nitrogen
Is this a school test question?
I ask because you posted the same thing on H-talk.

John wants someone who gives a crap and knows how to think.
Ya, the guy that doesn't have one square inch of skin that isn't tattooed with purple hair.Re: Cool books
I'm going to have to disagree with the title of this post
These books are about heating, steam heat, radiators and the like.

Re: Plumbing and Heating Mechanic Needed for Residential Service Work in NJ.
Some of the brightest, brilliant, eager, young people at my company have major ink work and purple hair. I love working with them.
We get along well because I have silver hair, black makeup (soot) and scars.

Re: Plumbing and Heating Mechanic Needed for Residential Service Work in NJ.
John, what you need is an up and comer that loves the trade more than he loves his wife, then train him. When you go to a job and you and him encounter a failed situation, query him as to the problem and the solution. Then let him fix it with your guidance. He will learn more than if you fix it, yourself, or a lecture. In house training is important. Do like Ray Wohlfarth has done present it as problem/solution. It's like a game that stretches the imagination. I will remember his last problem and solution until I get alzheimer's.
That's what I like about this site. It's learning thru problem and solution even tho those posting on this site don't always post the problem accurately.
Go to the trade college in your area and offer an internship with a low compensation. If I were 20 yrs old, again, I'd jump at the chance. In fact, that's what my daughter did before she graduated from the School of Engineering at Cornell University. I guess, I'm bragging.

Light the pilot before turning the power back on. There should be a Rollout switch attached to the access panel and it will easily short to ground while removing it to light the pilot. Ask me how I know.
