Meeker Mansion-PaulP

Paul Pollets_2

I can verify that there is a hydronics G-d, and he was watching over me. After 31/2 years of negotiation, ART finally completed the sale and contract to restore the heating system in the Ezra Meeker residence in Puyallup, WA., near Tacoma. The home is on the National Register of Historic Sites and is currently a museum. Mr. Meeker made his fortune in hops, and was known as the "Hop King". He also popularized the Oregon Trail and was responsible for its recognition by Congress. He crossed it 5 times in his lifetime...3 times by covered wagon, once by automobile in 1915 and by a biplane in 1924. He died in 1927. The home was constructed in 1880 and is a 17 room Italianate Victorian mansion. We'll be putting in a Viessmann boiler system using 2- staged boilers and revalving the existing radiators. We'll also install 7 antique radiators in rooms that were never heated. We'll post the project on the ART website as we proceed with the work. BTW, we were the highest bid of 9 other contractors. Never say it can't be done...remember Dan's picture of the bottled water dispenser next to the water fountain...

Congratulations Paul,
I'd be honored to come visit and meet you sometime that you're on the site - My "day job" is about 10 miles away in Parkland.

Well done Paul

You deserve praise for not only getting the job but showing others that it can be done. Obviously the customer was impressed with your knowledge. Great job !

You guys beat me to it with that Hop Sing joke.

Rads

I've a collection of embossed radiators that will be sandblasted and painted for some of the rooms. I'll also be using a few Buderus "Solidoflux" WP rads in rooms that the public doesn't see. I'll post the pics as we proceed...Thaks, MD..Paul
