Boiler tour

Izabella, Richard, and I took a tour of the boiler room and roof of building 6 courtesy of Brenda Hundley and Sam Attard. (Left) This boiler is the one that had the dry fire. The tubes are currently being replaced and it will be fully operational shortly.


(Right) Here is a picture of one of the vacuum pumps. You can see from the water stain that it is leaking and should be replaced.




(Left) This is a picture of the boiler that our insurance carrier considered beyond repair. In order for it to be removed it must be cut up in small pieces and hoisted up by a winch over 20 feet and be carried out a standard sized door. Since 2 boilers can adequately provide heat with the third as a backup replacing this boiler is not being considered at this time.



Izabella will be teaching a self defense class on the roof. Here she is demonstrating how to gouge out the eyeball of an assailant. She forgot Richard wears glasses. Either that or they are practicing a three stooges routine. Nyuck Nyuck.
