the way things should be! BTW- What ever happened to your wall-rad project?<BR><BR>Dave

The PO's had taken this rad out of the foyer to connect a rad in the newly finished attic. This created an issue with the heatloss in the foyer on cold winters when the door was opened. I plan to re-pipe the attic rad when s tee is installed around the same area on the main. It made a big difference in the foyer and all the way upstairs to have that rad back in it's home again. I could only feed the branch beginning with a 45 to avoid cutting into a joist and then I just used another 45 at the foundation. It works great!

Beautiful

Beautiful radiator.

I see you put it in before you finished painting the wall. That's the kind of thing I do.

Looks just like the old way. Nice job!

A bit off topic, but that's an odd sub? floor. Looks like "beadboard" commonly used for porch ceilings, vertical wainscotting, etc.

Nice...

radiator finish. I like that glossy look. Paint or Powder coat?

Rust-Oleum glossy white, one coat did the job. Of course there's a spot or two that need a touch more. I will find a place for those wall rads soon Jim. Won't forget what you did for me. . .

I'm doing a new boiler this summer and will tie in some new tees for two to three more branches for more rads and will find a place for them then. I am trying to be as patient as I can though

Daniel_4

Yup . . .I am actually choosing anew color and well, the radiator was more important to me than color choice. I am so selfish sometimes . .

Tongue and groove pine was the mainstay for floors in my area in central MA in the 1920's. Most of the homes around here with hardwoods were installed in such a way. I couldn't tell you the size since I never measured but the sub floor and red oak on top together measure about 2 inches thick! Boy I love old homes!
