    Cheap!

    Owner finally wants a replacement - old rooming house crca 1920. Originally coal, then oil, conversion burner to nat gas about 1970 something. Asbestos has been abated - but I think the old beast will stay where it's at - and repipe around it.

    That's a Gurney!

    I have one of those in pieces in my basement. Two of carefully disassemble the beast and rolled and shoved it to the side. It's still there 7 years later. My plan was to reassemble it in the yard as a planter.

    If I still had the shaker grates and the lower ashpit doors I might have kept it for backup. By the way, are those items in that house?
