interesting job,we had four different loads.Radiant in kitchen,panel rads in living room(lets not talk about the price of these rads,somehow these have to be made more affordable),upstairs had 160' of baseboard.We split it in half and and gave each "new zone" a circ,and an 80 gallon High output indirect.Great boiler how it handles different temps.We also had a baseboard zone in basebent.House is roughly 2700 sqft boiler oversized for heating but customer wanted a high demand of hot water.A big thanks to dan for letting us share our work and as always critique is welcome.PVC is fresh air and we used chimney for chase using centrotherm.

    I had to zoom in before I could tell whether those joints were ProPress or not. Nice!

    Translation: Your joints were clean enough that I had to zoom in to see that they were actually sweated. Craftsmanship is becoming unfortunately rare these days -- you should be proud of your work.

    No matter how hard you try, if you want your work quality to be an expression of yourself, and you have to compete against the head dandruff of the competition, you will suffer. It comes with the territory.

    Its actually easier and faster to do it neatly with hangers and such. What kills you are all the "accessory's" that everyone is insisting we need. My personal experience is that much of it is overkill. My money could go to better places.
