Balls. Balls. Balls.
Oil burner is shot. Knew it didn't have too much longer. Been having issues, we've had so much work done on it over the years, not even sure everything that we've done but it's been a lot.
Had the plumber over to take a look, and it's all corroded, all the way through, Not entirely sure what I was looking at, but you can see steam coming through cracks and crevices that shouldn't be there. The $400 box that controls the water temp is shot, so the water in the pipes is way hotter than it's supposed to be.
It's just ****. It's 20 or 25 years old, and it's just ****.
Good news is that we've got natty gas on our street, so I'll install a new natty gas burner to replace it. Get a little more real estate in the basement without the big oil tank and the big burner and all of that crap. Going to have to take down a bunch of shelving that I built to house my beer gear, that'll be where the new burner goes but that's alright. Getting a couple quotes, from my plumber and from my friend's buddy, who owns a local company that does this work. I'm sure that I'm going to be out ten large, though.
