Equipment donation

Wayne_12

I just come from a meeting with Steve Wilson. Steve & his wife Jeanne operate Coyote Ridge Cristian Ranch in Southeastern MN. There primary focus is working with children of parents that are incarcerated. Providing children a faith based support in a rural setting.

Activities include hiking & walking trails, arts, crafts, horse back riding, swimming, canoeing and more.

Steve has a cottage they built this year with infloor heat. "He was thinking ahead here." 26'x32', 8' ceiling, 2x4 walls, fiberglass insulation in the walls, and ceiling. I forgot to ask about insulation under the concrete.

They do not charge the children or parents to allow their children to attend the 3 or 5 day camps. They do rely on the generosity of the comunity with donated time, materials etc..

Steve is looking for a small propane gas fired boiler to heat the cottage. There is two loops in the floor at this time, so any equipment that may be available at a reduced or free cost would be appreciated. They will need the pumps, manifolds, valves, pipe, fittings, storage tank, expansion tank etc..

This would be a great place to put a geo-thermal system in.

I am calling out to the wallies to see if we can do something for Steve & Jeanne. I will donate my labor to install the system. Steve has the proper forms for tax deductable donations.
