Hey, thanks for the responses guys. I am learning a little more everyday. I appreciate it.
Well I got The Wood Gun in the basement. I measured and remeasured. I did not know if we could get the right angle on it to get it through the window because of the weight. But the wife suggested I try it. This would put it right where it was going. I took two Anderson sliders out of their frame and we layed the boiler it on it's side on a piece of plywood on the ground. Using this tow truck of my brothers was great. It had two winch cables off of the telescopic boom! Swwweeet. We were able to lay it down, then use one cable on the lift ring on the top and then the other one on a short chain with a hook on each end hooked to the c-channel on the bottom. We then used the wheel lift on the truck to push it into the window as far as we could and coax it onto a sturdy ramp that I had built down to the basement floor. We were then able to unhook the bottom of the boiler and slide it down slowly by letting down on the top of it. A few scratches and dings, but nothing major. And did not have to try to man handle it. I will be looking for some input in the future for install. But I am going to take my time. I have printed out a couple of the simple diagrams and am having my HVAC guy look them over before we get started. Can't wait to get it going. But will take my time anyway. Looking for a used tank I can afford for thermal storage as well. Thanks again.
