Re: HG's thread of miscelaneous stuff

This is a good thread. Very interesting following you around on your travels. You are an accomplished photographer, along with your other talents. I work around boilers also, I've been a pipefitter for many years, and boilers are closely related. Mostly the ones I've been in are 20+ stories tall and power papermills, steam turbine powered electric generating stations, things like that. Occasionally I've installed/relocated/re-piped what
we call a "package boiler", which is closer in size to what you picture. They come in on flatbed trucks, on a skid. Cutler/Hammer for the most part. We can attach to them but not work on the actual boiler, except certain screw on/bolt on parts.

I also love the hoar frost, never knew what it was called before tho. Thanks for enlightening me. Now I can sound more edjumakateded when iz a talkin tew them peeblez.
