My old friend, Jake Myron, who is one of the best steam men in the business just wrote a new book and you can get it here: <a href="http://dorrance.stores.yahoo.net/stpeflforhea.html">http://dorrance.stores.yahoo.net/stpeflforhea.html</a>



It covers steam heating in larger buildings. Jake is a master at solving problems in apartment buildings and this book covers it all. He and I prowled a lot of basements when he worked for the New York City Housing Authority and I recommend him to many people as a consultant after he retired from NYC. He's now retired from consulting and living in Florida. This book covers all of his years and it's well worth the price. Highly recommended!
Retired and loving it.

    Jake

    He brings so many nuances to this subject. I was smiling (and remembering) all the way through. What a pleasure it was to spend time with him on a job. I was happy for him when he retired but sorry for myself.

    Excellent book. A must if you're serious about steam heating in bigger structures. Especially if you are a plumber or engineer.

    I initially didn’t realize this was an older post. Thought it was a new book

    There was an error rendering this rich post.

    One way to get familiar something you know nothing about is to ask a really smart person a really stupid question

    Noel Murdough RIP first told me about Jake Myron. Wasn't his handle Grumpy? Those were the very first wild and early days of The Wall. I came in shortly after with Mark Hunt (One of my closest friends till this day) whom I met at a Jim Davis Seminar in Penna. Jake wasn't on too much after that. I'm sure he was busy....Noel got a real kick outta him. Mad Dog
