Here's Ed explaining the situation to Liseli. What caused the 11 1/2 year old boiler to fail? Ed, our steam expert, explained that it was the corrosion from a variety of sources: fresh water coming in too frequently, chlorine in our well water a few years ago and minerals in that water.
There are 8 sections to this boiler. Here's Scott cutting apart the sections with Mike Schmidt looking on.
Poor old boiler! This inside shot shows the high water mark that shouldn't be in there! It's supposed to be dry!
This is the close up of some of the corrosion inside out.
Each section weighs about 200 pounds. Here's Scott man-handling one of the sections.
All is quiet now. Ed is pictured here cleaning up some of the debris.
The new boiler will be here Monday!!
