Keep your eyes out for a 260 of any brand. Have my neighbor talked into one. Hotblast came across a good deal on one but missed it and just missed the one Asea posted. He wants he heat his garage apron so that should put a load on it!

I see this is pending.
Who is the lucky dog?

It said "Pending" when you posted it. What does that mean? Were not selling a house here.

If that 5 digit number is a zip code, it is in Pillow PA. That's a little bit North of Harrisburg. A couple hour drive from me.

I can’t read it from the pics either. It’ll be a 3hr trip each way for me.

Yes I did, and it has been quite an interesting project over the last 2.5 years.

Now you will get to have all the crazy Axeman fun like the rest of us!

Haha probably not quite as much fun like you guys right off the bat. This is going to hit the piggy bank hard as I’m starting from scratch.

Do I bite the bullet and build headers with zones or just slam it like a wood boiler on one loop for the year?

That depends on what kind of shape this thing is in. Do we know if it holds pressure?

It also depends on weather or not you have something to connect it to. like radiators or baseboard?

If both answers are YES, and there are no major mechanical problems, slam it in for this year. Then fix all the problems over the Summer.

It was holding pressure and functioning fine when it was shut down last year is what I was told. I’ll pressure test it before I do anything else.

30 psi is plenty.
Don't blow it up.

Be careful, I think that is the same thing as "it ran when we parked it"!
