Augustine was over today to do a bunch of jobs including removing the old gas/oil heater from the middle of the house. It took awhile but we managed to pull it out while his nephew cut pipes and pushed from below. We were thinking of keeping the hole as an alternate route out of the house, making a wine cellar or giving Seven his own entrance to the living room. Instead we opted for it to be framed out and to drywall patch the walls. WL's skills as a floor installer will be put to the test again.
The old boiler did not seem very efficient, it stated that for every 50,000 btu's put in, 35,000 came out.
PS.... It took all of 30 minutes before one of the local scrap metal guys drove by and picked up the junk for us. Great neighborhood.
