Boiler, gas-converted Winkler with 'new June 1962'
scratched on top
(with old oil [?] burner on floor to L)
|
New
June 1962 - etched in, way
better than a $#@!! marker
that will fade!
|
Boiler plate (can I call it that?) -
marked as (maybe) model 91C-3
(but is that marked over on purpose?),
serial # E-14581, etc., 83000 BTU/hr.
|
Pressure & TпїЅ gauges.
|
Expansion tank above
|
The
ca. 1975 Adams Speedflame
HP 200A gas burner conversion
|
Circulation pump? Looks
newer: clean & shiny.
|
Closer view of same
(made in china, frowny face)
|
What do these little dials set?
(L one is at about 100, R 0one about 140)
|
Closer view of L one
What does either adjust ?
|
Asbestos insulation in
crawlspace under living room
|
Thermostat: replaced with intact ca. 1992
verrsion of same from restore.
(I have no desire for some 'smart' hunkajunk -
tracking me & demanding I-phone attention, I will always be Way smarter
than a thermostat and can turn the dialmyself!
This works just right AND matches my old wood
wall,
since it's not 'martha stewart wall white' - as all new ones are -
to match every american interior since 1992 ...
perhaps soon they'll all be a dismal gray to
match the next 30 years of ugly wall color
stupidity...)
|
Dining room & east radiator.
Note ceiling fan (4 in house)!
Also my thermometer on floor...
|
Living room: north/front
& east side radiators
|
Downstairs most rooms have these ca. 1940s
(estimated major 'modernization' date)
type of wall radiator, which works OK
and looks OK when sanded primed & painted with the walls as
here
|
Front (north) upstairs
sitting room & radiators...
|
Closer view-painted gold,
with humidifier...
|
...
& nice old bakelite valve.
|
Another view:
"Cameo - Weil-McLain Co"
|
Heavily painted one in former
upstairs kitchenette (to be
my darkroom & print shop!)
|
Beauty in upstairs loo:
|
"American Radiator Co."
|
Under kitchen counter. What's
the small copper tube for?
|
It's behind metal screen door
cabinet-is this reasonable?
|
Similar in downstairs loo,
with cover & dust...
|
In
laundry room adj. to kitchen
(brightest room in house &
the only south-facing one!)
|
Attic well insulated-a lone bat
there right 3rd rafter from vent!
|
Needs paint but wood-not vinyl!
Signs of wall insulation: plugs
|
what's this 'water' cover
(broken) on lawn go to?
Shutoff of some sort?
|
Front view/north face: a $40k
UP house! I need to restore a
full width porch for proper
balance- if I can move that tree
