    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?—NBC

    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.

    This youtube series is fantastic. Every homeowner here (and lots of plumbers probably who aren't here) should have a look
