Volunteer work party for a repiping job

Sailah

SPX Flow and Westwood Products have donated their TigerLoop oil deaerator.

Thank You!

Sailah

Watts & WP Haney have generously donated the backflow preventer!

Thank you!

Sailah

Bolt Depot (awesome local bolt supplier in my town) is supplying the threaded rod.

Thanks!

Damn if it was the following weekend I’d make it up, only a three hour drive for me.

MichelleLe1

Sailah for president 😁

Things are really humming along.

Supplyhouse.com has come in BIG. And I mean BIG. They took an enormous bite out of the parts list needed and deserve a special recognition. So thanks to Raquel @ SupplyHouse and her team for working on this.

In addition, SupplyHouse has offered to waive all shipping fees for this. The process is to call in an order, whether it's $20 or $200, and tell them it's for the SteamIQ donation. They will box everything up and ship together to job site. They are also sending t shirts and some other cool swag for those who are helping.

I spoke to @EzzyT & @Ironman , the plan is to arrive Thursday night and start work Friday morning. Supplyhouse will ship everything Wednesday to arrive @MichelleLe1 house by Thursday.

Please take a look at the list and consider donating a line item to help this awesome event.

And thank you!

That's fantastic. You guys are Heating Heroes!

If you attend/contribute, please PM me with your address and I'll send you something special from Heating Help.

And be sure to take lots of before and after photos and share them with us.

Sailah

Winters Instruments has donated a low pressure gauge to the efforts.

Thank you!

Yeah so far it's been an amazing show of support. Spoke to Paul from Winters and he's going to drop the gauge off along with some swag too.


Also, if anyone is planning on coming, can you send me a PM or email so I can get a headcount? We are trying to coordinate food etc and I want to make sure we have enough. Also for directions. Thx

KC_Jones

So when I call they will have all the shipping information correct?

Boon

@KC_Jones * update* ask for Raquel S. She has it all. When I called the CS rep I spoke with wasn't sure.

1. Put stuff in your cart at supplyhouse.com.
   
2. Save the cart. (link in bottom left)
   
3. get the Cart ID number, bottom left of the cart page.
   
4. Inform the CS rep the order is in regards to Steam IQ donation.
   
5. They'll waive shipping, if applicable, and will have the shipping address.
   

KC_Jones

Just placed my order, he had the address and waived the shipping. Should be good to go.

When this is complete, will there be a video of the change out?
Perhaps time lapse shooting from tear out to skimming.

This seems a good opportunity in several respects;
Good PR for all who help out.
Good PR for product suppliers who donate materials.
Good promotion for retaining and repairing of existing steam systems.
Good to produce a Utube showing how not to install steam piping and how to choose a reputable steam contractor.

And it all started with Heating Help.Com/the wall.
Good PR there also.

I spoke to SupplyHouse.com I think the plan is for exactly this. Not finalized yet but I think they are going to have a couple people from their team onsite to do some video as part of their "Trade Life" series on YouTube. I just checked out a couple of their videos and they are WAY better than I was planning with my iPhone lol.



So @EzzyT & @Ironman I've hired a stylist to get you ready for your cameos!!

The parts are stacking up in my office, I'm looking forward to it.

JUGHNE

Does the stylist do hair AND make-up?

Oh yeah!! LOL

I think it's a great way for the contractors to get some screen time to a large audience. They had asked me if I was familiar with the Trade Life series and it didn't ring a bell. But then I watched the "Paying it forward" episode and immediately recognized the story of the driller, so I guess I had seen them.

Anyways it would be awesome if Ezzy and Bob get YouTube famous and their next job comes from someone who recognizes them from the SupplyHouse video.

Ironman

Well, we got about a foot of snow here, and interstate 81 is shut down, but it looks like it should be cleared out in a couple of days.

I'm still planning on heading out early Thurday morning.

Sailah

Hope things clear out for you Bob. Reminds me I need to get the blower hooked up to tractor.

See you Friday am!

Ironman

Here’s an article about this that Erin posted:

https://heatinghelp.com/industry-news/

Sailah

Well, just totally in awe of how much has happened in the last week or two.

Appears we are on track to have 100% of the parts needed, the awesome contractors have hotel rooms and we even have a breakfast & lunch sponsor from right here on Heating Help.

My office is full of boxes of shiny parts and cool swag to hand out.

So thank you!

Again, if anyone is interested in stopping by to help, please send me an email:

peter@steamiq.com

so I can send directions and get a head count. So far only 1 person has contacted me and know there are others who said they'd be by Saturday.

Ironman

The local Viega rep gave me 10) 1" Ells that he personally had. He said he's gonna make some calls in the morning to see if he can get some more fittings out their warehouse in Carlyle PA.

Sailah

The shopping continues. Stopped by my local FW Webb branch and met with Nick Ottino. I was joking I needed a mask and a gun because I was robbing the place. So BIG thanks to FW Webb for your awesome support of this!




Been speaking to Bob Boan today as he's driving north, Ezzy is heading up later. We have a couple HH members showing up tomorrow.

Back of my truck is freighted with black pipe, I'm getting tired just looking at it!

SuperJ

I'm excited for play by play updates hopefully. Take lots of pics and video clips. Don't make us wait for a fully edited video weeks later.

Sailah

I'll do my best. I have a time lapse setup to install first thing tomorrow. But I'll try and post up some progress shots as we go.

No promises though, Ezzy & Bob both said they're going to work me like a rented mule.

Jamie Hall

No. I'm the rented mule... see you tomorrow morning about 9.

It’s a good day for a work party.

Erin Holohan Haskell

Nice! Good luck on the job today.

MichelleLe1

Had to open my Christmas presents early 😁
So happy and grateful. I listened to my steam symphony for the last time this morning.

MichelleLe1

These guys all say they've never seen anything like this before.
Demolition has begun.

STEVEusaPA

maybe a new 'HeatingHelp.com Cares' addition to the website?

Fred

The Best to all of you!

MichelleLe1

These guys are the best. They work together like they do this every day. No egos. Just funny true stories from the field. It's clear they enjoy what they do. I'm happy to be a tiny part of this.
I can't believe how much they have gotten done already.

STEVEusaPA
