Here is everything probably 90% finished. Built a little wall out of unistrut for some of the filters and the chemical and water feeds.

Got most of the piping for the boilers and pumps complete, just a couple of unit heaters to install now.

Ups is not the greatest I’ve had issues before

It’s already starting to cool down quite a bit, should be seeing the first frost within a few weeks now.

We are pretty far north. I don’t mind though, it keeps things interesting.

Busy day today working on heating mains threader was running all day

It’s been raining for three days here now, looking forward to a little bit of sun
