Mucking out the Boiler room


Demolition of the old coal chute.
Inside it was three washer/dryers of various ages. A large portion of the debris has already been removed before this photo was taken.


Doors to the boiler. Ill have then sand blasted & repainted black.

Hole in brick wall, connecting the boiler room to the eastside basement. This hole will later be repaired.

One of the laborers hauling out a section of pipe. In the boiler room alone over 1 ton of scrap metal has been taken to the recyclers. At this point we are only half done. The cost of sawzall blade was killing us, so I bought an oxygen/acetylene cutting touch yesterday, speeds things up on teh large diameter pipes.

A little cleaner, this cavnernious room will eventually house the new heating system, the central vaccum unit, & an air compressor. Once teh removal of teh old pipes is compleate, We will install can lights, & pour a concreate slab floor.
