You're gonna love that thing. Welcome to the owb community, theyre the best most rewarding science experiment ever.

The Postma way , good job Heath

I think it looks good . I like the mini . Can’t wait to see smoke coming from the stack !! 👍🏻🇺🇸🔥

The first steps are always the important ones on a project.

Super great video

Rachel you are getting more comfortable in front of the camera. Also with your narrative! Oh and BTW as gorgeous as ever!

I've had my Hardy Outdoor boiler for 27 years now, Love outdoor boilers~

Nice job too!!

Looks good to me! Definitely should work👍👍

I'm glad you went with the actual thermal pex over some of the other brands I've seen. Also glad to see the use of a plate tamper and backfilling in lifts 💪 ya guys know what you're doing. Gonna be sweet when you get that baby fired up!!!

I sure like the way you were able to install your hydronic line. We had to hand-dig ours because it was in a courtyard. Very nicely done Heath and Rachel. Have a good weekend!

Good video and job I think side walk will be fine.one day I hope to build a shed from my back door to the boiler. I think you will enjoy it. Both of you take care, be safe and well.

Ain't friends and neighbors wonderful! Even though it didn't turn out like you had anticipated, it looks like you're getting things done. Great job y'all!

Can't wait to see how well it works.

We used the thermal pex when we put our boiler in, that stuff is a pain to work with but it’s definitely the best option! The pad will work out great, you can always pour one when you upgrade to a gasification boiler 😉

You're right, it is what it is for now. You get to use it now and that's what matters. Nice job.

You can always cut the front ones straight and lay concrete pads across the front to stand on. Make sure you leave some slack in the lines that go from your thermo pex to the feeds on the OWB. They will expand and contract abit during start up and shut down. Use Unions for connections also. You can cover your joiner pex with the foam for water lines. they make all different sizes so you can put 2 layers on them. I made a wood box all around my base and insulated it with roxul insulation which doesn't absorb water as easy as fiberglas pink. Time to start cutting your OWB splits as long as you can fit on your splitter. I make mine 32" long, alot less cutting and stacking.

Great video of the way the boiler has to be installed!!! Rachel, you make a Wonderful Project Manager!!! Stay Hydrated and Have a Safe Day

I've wanted to put one of these in for years !!

You're doing great so far guys. Once your brother hooks up the lines you'll be tossing boiler would in that beast.

Great video Heath & Rachel, informative and interesting to watch to see how a wood boiler gets installed looking forward to the finished product. Cheers you guys .👌🏻🔥🇨🇦

You guys did a good job enjoy the video and you guys have a good day stay safe

I like my new boiler stove at least your that far along have a great weekend

Nice work guys,great video!👍🏻

Glad you got your outdoor stove almost hooked up cause I figure you're going to need it

I understand why you didn’t film the placing the thermal pipe thru foundation. That pipe is a beast to deal with! It made us say words not in the vocabulary 😅😂

I install about 3 or 4 a month, Enjoy the wood Heat, make sure you hook up to your hot water heater.

Things don’t look bad I would just throw up some 2 x 4 forms and go grab some 80 pound bags could even throw them in dry rake it and spray it with a hose 🤷🏻‍♂️🤣

When you pour your pad put a roof up and make it large enough to put a tote under it. Having to load those boilers in freezing rain and snow sucks. You can run a loop of PEX inside the pad when you pour it so it melts any snow that might get on it.

Post and beam architectural masterpiece is next on the honey just do what I say list lol for next summer. It will be epic! Lol

I was guessing 30 inches deep because of the cold but I’m know nothing about up north but it terrible cold weather 😊

Have wood have heat, we have a indoor hot air wood furnace it does 95 percent of our heat 5% oil hot air when needed.

I would like to do that.

I wondered why you had it on the blocks. Makes sense for loading. Nice job! Do you rent your friend out? 😂

hi there it is only a fail if you cant fix it .looks good to me , well done

Yup, that's it, you got it in place. That's what is important this year, but you guys. How much frost do you guys get like? Where's your frost line like? I know we're at here in Canada. Like not that we get it, but they say that our frostline is 4 feet deep. So I know they always tell anybody that if you're bearing in water lines that like we never get below 4 feet. The frost doesn't we definitely sometimes? Depending on the winter will get more than 2 feet. So I just question if what you guys get for your frost. Where is your frost line? But 2 feet will still. It'll never freeze because it'll always be warm. Hot water that's flowing in and it'll always be circulating. It's just the amount of heat loss anyways I know you're gonna like

What am I missing. If yall just installing used boiler now what was that line he pulled out and had to reinstall??? Far as the insulated pex goes you can hook lines to the insulated part and before you hook to boiler wrap in insulation andslip over a section of that flex drain..

Nice video. Tell. Your. I. Said. She is. Good. Looking

Didn’t turn out bad.

I have the same one I think yours is smaller than ours.

If I ever had a plan that actually worked 100% I’d fall over backwards…. 😂 I’ll be curious how much your utility bill(s) go down this winter. Good thing someone kept bugging you to get saws ported since you’ll be cutting all that wood to feed that beast! (More man math). 😂

multi purpose trench! smart! I bet that closed pipe with cell foam helps with the frost line! There's a guy at work who has one of those boilers. He's really [quietly] proud of it for it saves his bill! Let us how how it heats the house end. I know it's water back and forth, like a Beckett boiler. Need more info! :) Btw, All this time I thought you two were in NC! You said, Non Dot, Michigan gravel or something! ha! That's cool! Sky looks same, woods look same ha! cheers!

I know in the spring you will dress it up.

Looks good. I’d put more rock around the base to level to the concrete slabs. Just to maybe make it easier to get to 🤷🏻‍♂️. Can’t wait for the fire up and see how it works. 👍🏻👍🏻🪵🪓🔥👋🚜
