Satisfying Project

in Strictly Steam
Just about wrapped up with a job and kept steam in a home. The owner is in the process of rehabbing a house in Detroit that didn't have heat for some time. Installed a new steam boiler to feed the first floor and two rooms in the second. She wants a furnace with AC in the future for the two other floors. New condensate line and 6 radiators. Just need to install two more and chimney liner after the chimney gets tuck pointed. It was satisfying to get the system running and steam moving once again.

    Seemed to be nice dry steam. I may have to play around with the venting a bit. I have one large radiator in the bay window that takes a bit to warm. I was sad to see our Slant Fin line go away, but am impressed with the Crown BSI series that come with a vapor stat

    Are you sure that's a vaporstat? I would think that it's a subtractive pressuretroll. Can't quite make it out in the picture

    You are right. I looked at another job on the way home with one, it's been a busy few days and things are running together

    Where are you out of and how big of a radius do you work? You will notice there is nobody in the find a contractor on this site in the SE Michigan area. Wish I had found you winter of '13/14.

    @dabrakeman we service SE MI Detroit to Port Huron area. Just a small 4 person company most of us are firemen or like the boss a retired one. Mostly word of mouth keeps us more than busy. This fall it's almost been too busy. I do the service and boiler work, but we do regular HVAC. Just shoot me a PM if you need something.

    @offdutytech do you know anyone that does sewer cleaning and work in metro detroit that is good? I have a coworker that lives in garden city that whoever she is talking to is trying to scam her.

    @mattmia2 maybe try Halligan Plumbing they are over on the westside / downriver area. Not sure if they do that, but worth a shot
