On the left is our old rectory fire tube boiler, installed c. 1967. On the right is the new high efficiency condensing boiler, with all the improvements that accompanied it, including asbestos abatement.

Thank God for tradesmen who know what they're doing and care about their craftsmanship. These guys are good dudes, albeit rough around the edges. But they want to know how to do things and do them well.

I, for one, appreciate them.

Young men, take note. Such competence is not a bad way to make a living, even today.
