What you see is the furnace and Hot water heater setup at my grandpa's cottage, I worked there Wednesday, Thursday and Today. Everything was done by myself, I had absolutely no help !!!

What you don't see is that my Mini-Van is up top by the road and the 25 stairs leading down to the basement. This cottage was built in 1952 and the furnace and water heater is from 19 freaking 52 :stare:stare:stare:stare Talk about getting use out of the Muller Climatrol.

My grandpa knows I'm doing this work sometime this spring/summer, what he doesn't know is that the whole job is done :thumbsup

I can't wait to stop by his house tomorrow and tell him the news, granted he is paying for the units and materials. As for labor I'm just going to tell him " You bought me a new Hammer Drill and Sawzawl " and maybe $100 as a tip so I can go out and party :alcoholic

Also from this water heater I re-did allot of the plumbing that was all F'ed up, everything up there is Rigged. What I just completed is probably the cleanest thing up there, as a secret I ran some plumbing into the cottage that is next door, this cottage only has cold water and that's it !!!!!!!

Well I went out and purchased a Faucet that has a C and a H :rolf this cottage is from 1923, Hot water in the OLD cottage will be the talk of the century and know one knows I did it :thumbsup

I have never been this tired in my life, but its a good feeling to do something like this for such a cool grandpa that has worked his ASS off and has so much because of it.

Enjoy my work :

That looks like it was a pretty big job

Once the ball gets rolling it just comes together, but once you start to do the simple stuff like gas piping and electrical it begins to drag out :rolf
