there won't be a chill in the air for long

Dad has put in almost two full weeks this go-round, and this is what he has to show for his effort:

You may be asking yourself just what it is you are looking at... This is our brand-spankin' new heating system. A Triangle Tube propane-fired boiler to be exact. This baby offers
efficiency in excess of 93%, which we hope will translate into very reasonable heating bills. The white PVC pipes coming out of the top of the boiler are actually the vent (no chimney required); and the red and black items are the circulator pumps which will move the heated water through three loops - one upstairs, the radiant heating in the kitchen, and the remainder of the first floor. Dad tested the system this morning and reports that, after a few adjustments, it should be good to go. The propane folks are scheduled to come out Monday afternoon and hook up the gas... It has been a damp, chilly couple of weeks here in Vermont so I can't wait to stand in front of the radiators and enjoy the warmth!!
