Just a quick up date. Today is the three anniversary since I started the Garn back up after the last leak repair. We had another pretty mild winter other than two week in January. Burned about 10 cords again last year and plan on burning threw the summer again for domestic hot water. I hope everyone has a enjoyable and safe summer.
 
Good luck Martin, I let my boiler go out over the weekend, since we were up at the in-laws and my folks went down to my sisters, now big deal there, still had decent hot water yesterday afternoon, just not as scorching as my wife likes for her bath, she had to settle for a shower, I fired it up again last night about 630, storage was at 117, by 10 when I went to bed it was up to 150, I was pretty happy with that!
 
Every thing with the Garn had been good until today. Have folks coming in from out of state to stay with us so I thought I better fire the Garn up and bring the temp in the tank up so I had plenty of domestic hot water. Opened the door on the Garn barn to find water on the floor. It is leaking out the air intake pipe in the back. I will let the temp pull down some more and then pump the water out of it and try to figure out what weld failed this time. Hope its fixable. Didn't need to have issues with it. Better now than in the middle of winter.
