Emergency steam boiler replacement...

The boiler being removed was only 2 years old. Installed by a local contractor and serviced by a local oil company. Like any job things went wrong. The site lost power and theses guys had to work off the head lights of their van. To add to that the supplier was missing an eccentric fitting so a trip out of state was made.

Notice the nice strapping on the copper lines...
