    This local man Mark really puts the unique landscape of Bay de Verde in perspective with his drone. He takes some beautiful shots.

    Yes, it is. I think I could have a lot of fun with a drone, but I don't want to pay for one haha

    Looks like I got the COVID overnight. Fever and aches. Everyone else is just about recovered. Call going in to to Doc and I guess I’ll have another test.

    I hope it doesn't hit you hard. And now the recovered ones can take care of you!

    Oh, and another thing...you may want to consider going to some type of electric water heater...either standard, or a hybrid heat pump type water heater...much more efficient than using oil for your DHW.
    That may even change what would be recommended for a new boiler...or change the whole setup around to something that works more efficiently.
    But in the big picture, knowledgeable installers can make or break the whole setup, no matter what boiler you buy. In other words...a cheap boiler could be better if properly setup, than "the best" boiler installed in the wrong application, or in the wrong way...

    I should have mentioned I did install a SuperStor Ultra indirect that supports my hot water supply. It's a Stainless Steel Indirect 45 Gallons.

    Here are some pics. SuperStore Ultra staiinless steel water heater.jpg front of furnace deterioration.jpg Furnace.jpg Peerless WB-3.jpg Riello 1.jpg

    That’s about what’s happening at the moment. So far it’s fever and aches.

    I know, but at least we’ve had some experience with it and maybe get through this more easily.

    This is priceless info. :handshake:

    Some of the work I've seen on people's boilers that we had to correct when I worked for my dad's shop was ridiculous. Instead of using the correct components, many times we'd see them using the totally wrong parts. At first we thought that the original installers were idiots for trying what they did, but after a while we determined that they probably used what they had, versus what they should've used. Every system is different.

    Not good. Be sure to get your rest, eat right and avoid stress. If your breathing becomes bad, go get some treatment. I am praying for you my friend.
