Garn has made it to the Canadian Prairies

[Scott from Canada]

Hello all, I took the Garn plunge. We made the 18hr round trip and hauled the unit home about a week ago.The day after we got back I had to go in for some surgery(lifted something I should not have a few months ago) so unfortunately all I have been able to do is read the manuals and look out the window at that shiny new 1500.Thank you all that have helped me make the decision to purchase what looks to be a solid, serious piece of heating equipement. Hopefully I can get some more assistance from the resident expert's on the forum to help me further my distribution design along while I am recovering. Scott

Congrats

Just wondered what Customs said, did you declare it or sneak it through?

Great looking machine!

What is that white stuff?

Congrats Scott. Looking forward to your updates after you have it installed. Let us know how it handles your load. If it works good for you it will prob fill the bill for me as well. OMG that makes it a 44 hour round trip for me :-S . Hello hotel.

Scott,

Congrats! I know the feeling. I'm sure you will enjoy your journey to striking the first match. I sure have. I hope to flip the switch off on my Oil boiler today.

Get well, relax for the holidays, and then get at it.

All customs wanted was our Manitoba taxes 12%. Yes, we are taxed to death.

Thanks, the white stuff is nothing compared to the frigid temps (near-40F).Scott

Thanks for all for the kind words of encouragement. I know I have enjoyed pics of other installs etc. I have learned lots from the folks that frequent the forum.Later Scott

Hello all,
I took a shot at laying my distribution system out.I tried to apply what I have learned from the experts on the forum.I was hoping I could get you guys that have the experience have a look at my plan and advice me on any changes you would recommend.I know everone is busy at this time of the year.I'm going to be recovering from surgery for a while so when ever you guys find time would be much appreciated. I will only be able to try and get the shop heat going this winter as I did not get the pipe in the ground to the house before it froze solid.
All feedback is welcome. Thanks, Scott
