Some heating system pictures


Here is the control panel, 90% wired, with a the temporary power via an extension cord.

Here is the wiring diagram. Why such a complicated diagram for a single family house? Why not? Even though there are simple single-box controls for this, billn is cheap and likes to develop his own system.






Here is the beginnings of the kitchen radiant zone pump and piping. Senior holds the work while billn applies the torque on the fastener.


Here senior adjusts the position of the globe valve (important to create some pressure drop across the P-S zone that feeds the kitchen radiant).





Here is the return manifold, with the not-spooky anti-ghost flow loops bending down and to the left.
We love 1/2" barrier PEX.

Glad to see someone is working on the house, with all of the leisure activities and all. Also, I think that is Senior in the picture!?

How do you know which child is in the picture? What, are you the parent of those children or something?

JenM said...

Well, since the two pictures are CLEARLY of the same child, I was just wondering? It doesn't take a rocket scientist or even someone with 20/20!

We are war! Pick a side. You sound like you are cutting and running, taxing and spending.

JenM said...

This might be war but I am an OT and I had to perform surgery!

Bill N. said...

Self-inflected wounds do not count. If you would have spent some money on your flooring, you would not have had to do "surgery."

JenM said...

Self inflicted? Self inflicted?! More like 'Booby trapped'! Just another one of your techniques to "keep the woman down"!

Bill N. said...

Keep you down? Please.

If you want, I can start keeping you down. Bring me a sandwhich.

Watch yourself mister, that sounds like a libelous slander. I could habeous corpus you for that.

Jenm: Mustard is great, hold the mayo, make sure the bacon is crispy.

JenM said...

would you like fries with that?

Bill N should lay off the bacon, I can clearly see in his pictures that he's starting to put on a few around the middle. He should try Bacon Salt (http://www.baconsalt.com/). It's pig free!

How about a knuckle sandwich?

JenM said...

With a Hurtz donut for dessert!

(Gidg I can't stop laughing!)

Unknown said...

OMG -- I forgot about a Hurtz donut. I bet they taste really good!

JenM said...

Any ideas where I can buy a dozen?

Unknown said...

I'm not sure if Donut King carries them or not but I can check!

JenM said...

Would you mind? Bill is really craving the hertz donut!
