Basement Dwellers Band Together

LOL. That is like a big ol battery. It is a hot water thermal storage tank. Now it does not store the hot water you take a shower with. It stores the hot water from your boiler. It acts like a "buffer" tank as some call it and gives a place for you to put some energy. I sprayed it with spray foam after my guys installed it for me and we were sure there were no leaks in the system. It is about 400 gallons. Some guys keep anywhere up to 1000 gallons or more with there wood burning gasification boilers. The most efficient way to burn wood is flat out. And having a lot of storage allows you to burn your wood flat out and then just shut your boiler off and coast. Then the tanks heat your house or whatever your heating and then you "batch burn" whenever your tank temps start to go down. Now with the size of my house and garage and all, my tank will not heat for a long time, hence the "buffer tank". It lets my boiler catch up so to speak when several zones are calling for heat and when they are not I can store energy there as well. I could go on and on about it, but I don't want to bore you.......... say good-night Gracie. Good night.

 

Dude, that it awesome! You have quite the system down there. That's not boring at all, it's quite interesting!

 

Oh. Don't get me going. I could go on, and on, and ......... Wait. Let me get another beer.

 

Well al-f_ _ _in- righty then dweller dudes! Oh. Holy chit! It's after 10. I have to get up early in the morning and prepare tools, then have breakfast with the wife and kids, get things ready and cut up that Maple tree. And do a bunch of other fun chit tomorrow. Oh, I hope it doesn't rain. Dam. Don't have time for another beer.

 

I think the "basement dweller membership" needs to have clarification on who REALLY referred to you as "trolls" (it wasn't us surface dwellers)........see post # 12 in this thread:

Or cave trolls. I liked the name cave trolls in the Lord of the Rings trilogy.



Or Dungeon Dwellers.

 

Actually prefer "Underworld". Dont think this crew would have any issue with a new member

 

Methinks Underworld came from Dex in the original posts? BTW, where is he?

Although, the newest member is always to blame

 

Do we have to be voted in to this exclusive club?
My primary stove warms the house from the basement

 

Hey Tink ! Sounds like you qualify. Just need someone to second the motion on the floor

 

Tink, add the magic words to your sig. You have been seconded and thirded even.

What's this vote stuff? We are an equal opportunity evil dictatorship.

The head troll provides us all with equal opportunity to dish out a ration about his dictatorship.

I think it is because he is afraid we will revolt and cut off his brew supply.

 

Always blame the other person.

 

Well what cha waiting for an invite, the chief cellar critter is likely taking a morning nap prior to his lunch and Sunday after lunch nap.
