    What a great project to be able to build a house! And you know it's done right.

    Number 5 of your post makes your user name perfectly clear!
    Welcome aboard. the posting of pics wasn't all that hard to figure out (I had help). The remembering of how to post pics is a bit more hard to figure out!

    The Jetstream boiler was one of the first boiler to use heat storage. The pdf gives the concept of the boilers operation combined with storage.

    100_2088.JPG

    Storage is 1258 US gallons of water maintained between 120 -195 F in the summer and 150-195 F in the winter. The storage tank is a 5/8"riveted plate steel boiler with its flame tubes removed.

    The refractory base of the Jetstream, with the gasket being applied before the heat exchanger is set in place.
