    Finally got the NC30 installed this past Sat. Mild temps just above freezing all weekend rained cats and dogs ( would have been really nasty if that was all snow), managed to get some wood from the stacks under cove and in the basement in between the cloud bursts. pics of install and one of very first small burn. Propane furnace hasn't fired up since Sat night :thumbs:. will be interesting to see if the house is there when I get home as I put a full load in it this morning around 6:30 am and set the damper at about 1/2. little to no wind when i left. Sunday was windy and there was a difference in the draft rate. I have not run an OAK for it yet that is the next minor project - long run to back side of house ( not a bad thing will allow air to become more tempered before being drawn into stove) - more protected from wind shear and no brick to go through. also learned that the dryer running will have an effect at the present stage of completion. Cell pics- sorry. The jag in the flue was to clear obstructions of the roof framing.

    Way to go chris!
    Looks great.
    If you set the primary at about 1/2, I wouldn't expect much to be left after almost 12 hours.

    It was back by 3:30, I'm pleased and amazed, it's never worked out like that for me before in similar situations!

    Firing up the wood stove tonight too, pellet stove is on a higher gear. Holy cow, windy and 19*, windchill is -1* . Heard a familiar sound outside, WWW bonking splits on the ground to get the snow off. House is in pretty good shape but the two small additions still suck and blow heat out of here when the wind is from a particular direction, like tonight. My Acurite display says 2% humidity. I'll have to work on that .

    Very happy that it got resolved so quickly. Shouldn't have happened to begin with, but still.

    They test for both kinds of cholesterol, weight, height, body fat, blood pressure, glucose, etc.

    It's all good. See we have a unique company provided health insurance. It's really really good, and super inexpensive. It's one reason I left where I was working before to go where I'm at now.

    Our company's former owner (his son owns it now) wrote two books on health care reform.

    The Grassroots Healthcare Revolution - John Torinus

    Now other huge companies like FCA are going to systems like ours.

    Great! I guess they figured out just who (and all your friends here) they were messing with!
