After receiving heat finally, yesterday, we were able to get some heat flowing to some radiators. So far we have found 3 cracked radiators. One in the master bath and two in the halls. The one in the master we can do without since we have another large unit and radiant heat. The two in the halls need to be swapped out. Barry suggests not using new radiators but making up the heat with high output baseboard elements producing high BTU's. Barry would build these himself and they would cost 60-70% less than the cost of new radiators.
The other issue involved with this is that there is asbestos wrapping both of these radiators. We have contacted the abatement company and will have it removed.
Barry is putting together the costs to replace the heat.
This blog is a way for us to keep track of everything that we talk about, suggest or do at your home over the life of our working relationship. It is updated, usually, on a daily basis during the project. Here we will record daily activity on the job, list recommendations on products and materials and add articles that pertain to your home.

Yet more asbestos
The following images are of areas exposed in the yellow and blue baths during demo. We will need to have these areas removed before continuing on.
