Monday it was official. The tank was insulated with 15 bags of blown in cellulose. Many showers taken with wood fired hot water. What a warm fuzzy feeling we all get from that. Today I told my wife to turn the heat up to whatever made her happy, there was a stunned silence, and when I came home for lunch it was a cozy 75-76 degrees.
It was alot of work, starting in May. Without the help of all of you at the boiler room, and Mark S. of A.H.O.N.A. this project may have not been a DIY. I thank all of you and am only hopeful I can help others someday.
For those of you who are wondering if you can do this yourself, well, if you are considering it in the first place then the answer is absolutely. Remain patient, organized, and finish a phase of the project before moving on to the next one.
Thanks again to all at Hearth, and special thanks to NoFo, Eric Johnson and Craig I.
Don't want to bore you all to death, so I will shut up and post a few picts from start to finish.
