The Hobo Camp Fire Is going well #X.. Stop In!!!

Good morning folks

It is 33 currently. They say our high will be 37. Tomorrow and Wednesday are supposed to be nasty with snow.

Still battling with the heater. We are still getting the hammering and have two radiators that are not heating. Service guy is scheduled for later this afternoon.

Tom:

You probably know all this, but these are old school ideas for new/old installations.

Did they install an expansion tank and hammer arrestor in the system?
The new heaters sometimes don't require it, but the old piping always seems to need one.
Also, at the highest radiator, farthest from the heater (top floor opposite side of the house) Take a quart of water out of the drain cock.
The hammering is always a trapped air bubble somewhere.
Then do every drain cock farthest to closest.  
Hopefully this will work! 

Mikey thanks for the information. Unfortunately, we have a single pipe steam system. The problem we are having is too much water backing up into the steam pipe. This probably means that there is a blockage in the return pipes.

The weekend was laid back. I ran a few errands on Saturday to the grocery store, pharmacy, and Kohl’s for Amazon returns. I did some laundry, but not as much as I needed. I did not watch the Super Bowl despite the hometown team being in it. I occasionally checked in and we did watch the last eight minutes of the game. I was surprised that the celebrations did not do much damage in Philadelphia this time around.

I ran trains for a time on Saturday. On Sunday I spent time tuning up a bunch of rolling stock.

I am hoping that tonight we will have our heater issues resolved. I need to continue with the laundry. I also want to finish tuning up my Intermountain tank cars.

I hope everybody has a good day.
