Those manifolds are like the ones I've used before. They are pretty good. I believe they also make a zone valve that fits into the top of the individual zone control. They should be able to add multiple manifolds to increase the amount of runs to the zone. Just watch what pex tubing you get. You...

I understand now. 18 plate heat exchanger. 10-4. You have a good start then. Try to keep you runs on the same zone as even in length as you can. If you can draw up a plan for your layout then follow it as best you can will help you down the road. We pressurized every run separately so if we...

Why so many heat exchangers? Why not get one hx that will accommodate the btu's needed for your house? The loop length should not be over 300 feet with 1/2" pex pipe so you should be good there. The last install I helped with we used the aluminum pex panels under floor to help with heat...

Years ago I was wanting to build a front end loader or backhoe on a lawn tractor. As mentioned earlier the front spindles are a weak point on the lawn tractor. You may wan to lookup P.F. Engineering for ideas to upgrade your spindles. They have a website at Loader Plans, CAD Plans, Build a...

If you put the hx in the return make sure you have a high quality air filter installed before the air enters the hx.air flow is the biggest reason why a/c coils are installed after the blower. You move more air after the fan than before it. Generally return duct work is sized larger than the...

+1 for blackdog. that would be the easiest way to add the bathroom and any other addition you may have. not to hijack the thread but windwalker added the heat exchanger for another loop/zone and added the expansion tank, he created another closed loop and does in fact need the expansion tank but...

Dad started some paw paw and persimmon trees from seeds with good success . We just got some American chestnut seeds (non hybrid) and we are going to try them for next year. Dad starts them in the corner of his garden to keep better track of the trees and to be able to care for them better. My...

If it were me I would run my single wall pipe with the crimp pointing toward the owb. That way the creosote that is made will stay in the chimney and run toward the boiler and not out the joint. From what I see your plumbing looks pretty good. Might want to insulate the led around the boiler to...

You might want to look up the American chestnut foundation. My dad is a member and if I'm not mistaken for about a 100 dollar donation you can get 3 hybrid seeds. And after you plant them you are to give a status report of sorts every year as to the condition of the trees. Height,diameter just...

+1 for brushfire!! when i install slab heat i run a 1/2" conduit in the slab for the remote bulb for a honeywell T6031A1136 or an electronic remoted thermostat. when the area has a call for heat this remote thermostat acts as a limit switch keeping the slab from overheating. you will still need...

+1 for swamp donkey!! but before you make it permanent use a good battery and see if it works like you want it to.if it does go get the connectors and wire and your camera so we can see it and let us know the cost too.

You have the return already in the basement but haven't hooked it up yet correct ? As long as the return is there its ok. It's still pulling most of the air from the upstairs . What happens is it will try to pull the air from the easiest path. If you have an open chimney or gaps around...

go find a bottle of boiler leak stop and give it a try. if it works you are only postponing the inevitable and if it doesn't you are only out a couple bucks. whats the brand boiler and year?

baileys sell a log trailer,grapple and power unit. all separate and all with various sizes. i was thinking the same as you having a dedicated log trailer but right now price it too much.wound up buying a small equipment trailer and i'm in the process of welding mounts for log bunks. trying to...

i've been using my crane but haven't used it much for wood this time. i brought my gas welder home from the farm. its a hobart 213 with Wisconsin twin engine. mistake. i blew out my hydraulic jack. i bought a 6 ton jack and mounted it up. but the jack doesn't go up quite as high as it used to...

had a friend tell me one time that figure how big you need and then triple the size. that would be a perfect size for future use. +1 on radiant in the floor. even if you don not use it now you can hook it up at a later time. hard to put it in later. don't skimp on the insulation under floor but...

hot water baseboard is very good heat. you are going to need a load calculation on your home to be sure you have enough radiation in each room. if you decide to use cast radiators make sure you know how to size them to measure the btu output of the radiator. nothing worse than to buy a bunch of...

Did that but looking for an update to see if anybody had gotten one yet. I called my local dealer and talked to them. He hadn't sold one. I called the distributor and he can't keep it in stock. I think he only keeps 1 or 2 onhand but he didn't have any there either. There's a lot of people on...
