Can you say "Tim (the tool man) Taylor?"

Sometime in 1952 our house was build and a oil furnace was installed...

In 1993 we put it to sleep.

From Home Depot I purchased a nice, tiny efficient furnace.  I also added new pipes to the addition and split the house to a two zone. I do a bit of soldering too!

So you think I'm hot!  After adding water to try the solder joints.  I forgot to solder 2 elbows in the hardest to see areas.  A bits of a sprinkle! I had to drain the water from the pipes, try it and it still leaked. Drain it again and finally got it soldered. Yep, 1 hour for 2 little solder joints.

P.S. This furnace has been UNDERWATER twice. A sub pump in the corner by the furnace was unplugged one day after I was down to use that plug for a light to do other work.  It rained for the next few days and I got two feet of water in this sunken portion.  It shorted the electrical box ($68 repair) but that was all.   Back working in 2 hours.  Hurricane Floyd did a number on it again. When the power went our for 14 hours the basement went totally under water too about two feet deep.  After power was restored the next day and the sub pump worked a few hours I dried out the electrical box, vacuumed out the firebox again and was back run by noon.
