Well, today was the day we started the Boiler Replacement, when we bought this house last summer we knew that the Old Boiler had to be replaced so we needed to save up some money !
.
Well, this Morning Empire Northeast Contracting showed up, we disconnected the Electric, Shut off the Gas, hooked up a drainage line and started the shut down.

.
The old "Utica Boiler" ! Being dismantled and removed !
.
.
We drained 8 - 5 gallon Pails of water out of the Boiler, I was surprised that the Water was crystal clear, not one bit of discolor in it !
.
Got it off the Pad, Pad cleaned and ready to get the New Boiler off the Truck and inside !
.
.
In front is the Blue color New Utica Boiler, In back is the larger Grey Utica Boiler we removed, This Boiler is small but needed to go get the Neighbors to help struggle and jockey this 450 pound little Boiler down into the Basement ! We did it, it is on the Pad and by 5PM we are 50 to 60% complete !

.
I am amazed at the Old and the New, A Hacksaw and a "Hacksaw" !
.
.
This is a Cutter for cutting Copper tubing up to 3 inch. Awesome tool and saves a lot on the wrist !
.
It was 5:30PM and I called it quits, I am tired, long day but I was careful on lifting and straining. Gonna be an early Bed to rest up to finish tomorrow and turn the heat back on ! Thankfully it is gonna be in the 60's tonight and maybe 70's tomorrow !

Until you have worked with a heavy item in a tight space one would not understand. I am shocked that the water wasn't at least stained, that is a great testimony to your old unit that has performed well for many years. But the new one is much prettier trusting it will serve well from now into the distnt future.
We all take your word that you didn't do TOO MUCH, but I hve a feeling even a policeman will fib at times. LOL
Love from here ande DO TAKE CARE Shipmate, scikbay doesn't need visitors.
