OOPS! Sorry guys, I will straighten up pics next time.
Didn't realize these were turned.
Still soldering pipe a little every night afterwork. Spent a bunch of extra time making sure the reeming of pipe was done with care and attention to detail.
Want there to be as little friction as possible and make for a good heating system.
Should have chimney in saturday. Got all parts and such ready to go.
Expansion tanks are still not here, checked on them today. Living here in Alaska sometimes can be a real pain when it comes to special order parts.

Looking good on the piping Morgan. Looks like that tank says Crawford on it. You looking at pics of Cindy again?
Well, things have been a bit busy here lately. I have made soem progress but things are moving slow. No big hurry since I am waiting on the expansion tanks.
I ordered expansion tanks through a local plumbing store, after two months they called and said it would be another month. Well needless to say I lost my temper a bit.
Canceled the order.
I called Brian from Up North Energy Solutions on friday, he had the tanks on a truck headed this way tueday by 10 am. He couldn't get them out monday as it was a holiday. They were put on a barge on the 30th, I hope to see them next week. I should have ordered them from him in th efirst place. Trying to spread money around town, my mistake.
98% of the plumbing is complete, just waiting on the expansion tanks to finsih up.
Got the stack in last week, it was warm here and took advantage of it.
I am hoping to finish install by next wekend and hopefully fire things up on next saturday.
Gotta pick up the rest of the stack this week, and start the wiring.

Yes. Nice work your doing there. I am always impressed by you guys that can do all your own work. I can do some building and remodeling, but when it comes to metal work and plumbing I have no experience and hire that out. Glad I don't need it often!
Well finalized last of the soldering and pipe work. Now i just wait for the expansion tanks, the sailed on the 30th.
I will be doing the wiring and finish the stack while I wait.

Thanks guys, Well tanks are full have cirulated for hours and purged the air that I can.
It was late and duty called (wife) last night so we did not gt it fired up. Hope to do so tonight, Its already been a twelve hour day.
I will let you know how it goes. I may just run a littel fire to see how things go, and wait til saturday to fullly charge everything. I guess it could take 10 or so hours to charge intially.

What is that area that your tanks are in Morgan? Just curious, because you are going to have some serious heat radiating off those tanks until you get them insulated.
