Dead Men's Steam School

Hi. Who is the intended audience for the Dead Men's Steam School? Are homeowners welcome or is it intended for professionals? I have a one-pipe system that needs some help. I have one of Dan's books on its way, but I'm wondering if my best bet is attending the upcoming seminar in Massachusetts.

    We often have homeowners at that one.

    If you're a visual thinker you'll get a lot out of it. Thanks.
    Retired and loving it.

    You should go!

    A few weeks ago I attended the one in Davenport, Iowa. I am not a contractor or installer, but I own a building that has needed a lot of attention to get the old steam system working correctly. Although I have had a career in facilities management and historic preservation, which included operating a large institutional high pressure steam system, I have found that my previous knowledge of steam did not help me at all when it came to the operation of residential type steam systems.



    Dan is not only a great presenter, he's a nice guy too! You'll be glad you went!
