I recently installed a wood fired boiler in my basement, took me about 2 months to do it (over two years), but there was a lot of piping to relocate, thread and solder along with a lot of mechanical devices to istall in the correct order etc. This mechanical part was a roaring success but then came the electrical controls. I knew where they went, sort of and had accumulated about everything I needed. I set up the panels to carry them and arranged the gadgets in an orderly fashion. But i was scared off by the wiring, of which there was a lot and all critical to a successful lift off. LUCKY for me my brother in law is an electronic wizard (holds an L5 license and his most recent project a complete electronic restoration of a late 80's vintage Wurlitzer juke box formerly the property of the USA president of Sony. You should see and hear this thing-all CDS not 45s-just absolutely gorgeous). Anyway he put the finishing touchs on my project, including specifying the last crucial switch relay and wiring up the whole mess. He is anal and it shows in the beautiful job he did (with me as parts runner we spent a total of 52 hours on this part) way better than what any hired hand would have done. So why am I telling you this? It's because it's my way of saying how fortunate we are to have a guy like Ron Kwas to bounce our problems off. This would be a lot less fun without him, without BB and all of those who participate in these forums. So thanks guys for your time, thoughts and interest. And to you too Vinny (my BIL) though you'll never read this.
Remember to support these guys when you can, you won't regret it. Amen brother!
