started my barometric damper install

[shoeboxlen]

well I started the install for a barometric damper on my eko 25 . I picked up a 8 inch T pipe and a 8 inch plug and ordered the 8 inch barometric damperin T pipe . I am putting it under the boilers flue like is pictured on the site. I was able to reuse my old 8 inch pipe had to cut 2 inches off of one strait pipe so I am ready to go as soon as the damper arrives. I am oalso ordering my new door gasket tomorow so hopefully by next weekend I will be all ready for this years heating season. Also had my second truck load of log length wood delivered that I have to get sawing on. 6-8 cord per truck load boat load of work but eworth it everytime the oil truck drives by the house and doesnt stop. Thanks to this site I am deffintily much more knowledgable about my boiler you guys are the best pics coming soon!

I sure hope that truck load of wood is for 2010/2011 heating season??? Or maybe even 2011/2012!

yeah it is for next season I already have this years cut split and stacked it did not seasona full year but what can you do I suppose. I only pay 300 for the whole tractor trailer load there is 6-8 cord ont he trailer so if it were 8 cords it works out to 37.50 percord if there are 6 it works otu to 50 per cord either way I am making out pretty well I figure. Mostly I get dead standing wood or stuff that storms take down so its partially dried already. I am hoping to hit the local harbor freight to pick up a water meter to check the wood today though.
