Boilers

 Well, Cellar Painted except for the floor,   The old Boiler sitting there next to the Brand New "Utica Boiler" newly installed and working well !  Fires electronically so no Pilot Light,  I did like the Pilot Light as there was always Heat on top of the Boiler and exhaust pipe !  Helped warm the cellar !

.

.

This is also a "Utica" I thought Boiler, but upon taking it apart found it is an old one !

.

. 

This is a "Utica Radiator" Boiler !   This Unit was made around 1928.    They changed their name in the 40's to Utica Boiler as they bought out several smaller companies !

.

.

After taking the covers off the old Boiler the contractor showed me where the old Oil Fired Boiler "Blew Out",  on the left  side  a hole developed and a steel boiler plate was installed and stopped the leak,  on the right side the white material is a hard brittle compound I am not sure what was used,  It is brittle and it is plain there were leaks in several places !   

.

.

The Boiler is heavy, The guys I hired to remove it could not make it up the stairs so they called the Company,  There is 8 Square Nuts to cut off  on each end, in the circles,   the Boiler than can be split into 3 pieces and hauled up the cellar steps.  

.

It is a Messy Job and expensive to have this old Boiler Hauled away but I do not want it left in the Basement which a lot of Houses do up here.

.

This was an "Oil Fired " Boiler Converted to Natural Gas.

.

Be glad when they come tomorrow, (Saturday) to remove it !

.

On a Happier note we got to stop for a Quick Peek at the Great Granddaughter Amelia and Granddaughter Shannon for some Nana Attention !
