And you thought we'd never get here. But here it is, ladies, gentlemen: our new boiler. Or, as all my energy nerd friends call it...

cool shade of blue

What a nice shade of blue-did it cost a lot of green?

Oh yes. Very much. I'll be covering that in a future post, but yes. For a number of reasons you might not expect -- but then, when it comes to home repair, nothing should ever be "expected."

Cost

    So what did all of this run you? And how much do you expect to save on bills?

added costs

Did you figure all of these costs when you purchased this home?  Its seems that you are doing an awful lot of work or was that the plan all along?

added costs?

I think every homeowner ends up paying for more than he originally intended. But one of the bigger problems with our place is that our inspectors -- the guys we paid to check out the house before we bought it -- were useless. They failed to notice any of the problems we're now working on -- the failing boiler, water damage in different spots, venting issues, etc. The lesson here is you should check references -- lots of them -- when hiring an inspector.

If this green building doesn't work out-you could always get a job at Marvel Comics!!! Your superhero name could be "Planetman".
