in THE MAIN WALL
Can you tell the installer by the quality of their work or little "touches" they may do. The attached pictures are of a boiler re-piping done by someone on the Wall. Any guesses?

Insulation and skimming to be done but generally everything seems to be working well

    Big 'ol drop header ala Steamhead. Nice work!

    Wasn't us

    but thanks anyway..... that enlarged riser tells me it might be Mad Dog. But wait- the sticker on the front shows area code 978, which is in Massachusetts............ maybe David "Dr. Pepper" Sutton?

    978 Area Code

    The lack of a Dr. Pepper bottle is a red herring I think. Dave is in 413 (IIRC), but 978 is not too far away.

    I vote Dave Sutton.

    Getting warmer

    The general location (Eastern MA) is correct but the correct young "deadman" is yet to be INDEPENDENTly identified for this OIL boiler

    We have a winner!!!!

    This is, from what I gather another "typical" quality install by Norm. He was very quick and thorough and willing to explain to the anal engineer homeowner (me) all the details of what, why and how.

    Kudos to Norm!!!

    Norm did

    a similar retro-piping job for a client architect of ours and the Owner -not to mention his tenants- could not be more pleased.

    What Norm was given to start with was a totally mis-piped system with copper and steel mixed, a compromised A dimension and other issues. Norm added a dropped header, dropped some dry returns below the slab (had to and for good reason), added vents and a Hartford Loop, up-sized boiler riser...

    Norm's work gave the entire system a new lease on life.

    And Norm made me look good to my client. :)

    Wish I had

    Pics of Dad's work, and a man by the name of "Chick" Rinker.
    Best tin knocker I ever saw. Some of the weird offsets,takeoffs,plenums he made were out of this world... and he painted all of his ductwork. He experimented with making ductwork out of aluminum for awhile,but it didn't "pan" out (badabing!). One of Dad's cousins used to tear apart hermetic compressors and rebuild them himself.

    Oh, and another \"trademark\"

    Taught to me by a Dead Man electrician....all slots on cover plate screws running vertically.

    Thanks a lot Scott!
    It was a treat to get my hands on your system.


    I'll have to take some more pictures when I see you next week for the skim and maintenance.
