It really is a nice job ! Is it heating an apartment building? How do you size your pictures to get large shots like you do?

Beautiful setup. Dang, I want a boiler now......and hot water heat. I HATE my forced air system. Works fine, cheap to run, but noisy and drafty, as they all are. Best system I recall was a 1920's one pipe steam setup in a house we lived in on Long Island. Originally a hand fed coal boiler, but long ago converted to oil . This was around the mid/late 80's when I lived there. Nevertheless, it worked beautifully, and kept my room in the converted attic toasty with just a single radiator. The place was also full of asbestos - boiler cement, pipe insulation, millboard above the boiler....oh well - no lung cancer yet!
Steam heat with big radiators is my favorite.
Thanks it's still a work in progress but the whole house is which is a 3500SqFt house built in 1790. as for the pictures I guessing your asking how I get so much in them all I can say is I just zoom out all the way.stoker-man wrote:It really is a nice job !
