    If there's one thing I've noticed about rich people is they don't like to pay poor people. They may buy a $500 bottle of vino at dinner but they always chiseled me down to the last penny for their oil and service. I wonder how they like $6.00/gal heating oil?

    Thank you, Dan for that concise but thorough overview of the hidden radiators. I have never run across a system that utilized them. But I always enjoy hearing the stories of the dead men. And the engineering that went into those systems. From a contractor who is part of a 4-generation family tradition of steam fitters, thanks again.

    Thank you, Dan, for another great tutorial. Whenever I try to explain the physics and thermodynamics of steam to people--even home owners--their eyes glaze over. I guess I need a video for this crowd. The Dead Men, you, and, I like to think moi, have an appreciation for the laws of TDN, but perhaps I am just blowing my own horn. At any rate, Thank You again.

    I have indirects but the ductwork leading to the exterior has long since been removed. There are just holes in the bottom of the boxes, sucking in basement air. Do you have any resources on rebuilding the ductwork? Was condensation an issue?

    No resources on rebuilding, and I've not read of any condensation problems in the past.
