Are you taking over this project from a DIY homeowner, who realized he was in over his head?
Or did you choose the boiler yourselves?—NBC0 -
We chose the boiler ourselves. I was making a bit of a joke in how much detail goes into installing even a "simple" steam boiler.
When confronting the reality of installing this boiler, as it sat in that space, in that particular orientation, I had to stare at it a bit to put the job in my head and it didn't come right away. I had to go away and think on it overnight.All Steamed Up, Inc.
