Skimming?
Is that what you do when you can't keep up with all the messages on this site because of the crossposting that is going on here?
And... BTW! Shouldn't it be her the webmistress?

Lou, I'm pounding on the door right now,
yet Arty insists he's not home, but there's so much steam and boiler racket, I can't really figure out what the heck's going on down there,
but it CAN'T be good.

Well Michael,
Perhaps he is firing up his camera, but who knows!
You hang in there. If necessary camp on that front porch.
Let's OCCUPY JETCONE!!

Louis, that's hilarious. He is our 1% -er, isn't he.
I'm trying to get Arty to open the door so I can smuggle out the glass tubbed Easy, before the money mogul gets back.

The glass tub easy is nice, but...
I might just sneak into the house and snatch those beautiful radiators! If I had the means to own a pipe treading machine, buy the pipe, buy and install the boiler, and move the radiators, I'd have steam.
I read Greening Steam and was impressed. I hadn't been that glued to a book since Harry Potter. I read Greening Steam cover-to-cover in about a day (I have poor eyesight, so I tend to read a bit on the slow side). The Lost Art of Steam Heating is good too. I'd put an 86% efficient steam boiler with insulated piping against a 96% efficient gas furnace with ductwork any day and see which one costs less to run. (Hint, it won't be the forced air furnace).
I so wish I had steam radiators as I sit here and shiver. I think I'll go warm up over a cup of tea and a 1972 Kenmore 70 Series with some Roto Swirl action.
Keep warm (silently)

Yes Michael, he is our 1%, I bet he showed us only 1% of the pictures he took of that charcoal set!!
Watch out for Artey Fartey! I bet he has been trained to play some mean tricks on you!
Dave, we will have to get them distracted so you can move those radiators out!
Yes we camp!!!

Interesting thread...
I have no experience with steam or not water heat, I was always curious but the cooling issue seems to be the biggest drawback.
That said I will put by properly designed Forced Air System up against any other heating system. The key is properly designed. The entire house is comfortable, no hot or cold spots, and you don't know it's running except for a little motor hum in the background. 'The fan runs 24/7 at low speed and the burners cycles on and off at various levels as needed, on the coldest days the fan may ramp up to a higher speed, but mostly the house is just plain comfortable and it's big, close to 4k sq. ft. 2 story with finished basement. 80k BTU burner that operates at much less than that most of the time, 96% efficient .
BTW, this is not a new house, it's 46 years old this month, and this is the third furnace we've had. Ideally I would like to add dampers and create a 2 or 3 zone system, that would make it the ultimate system, but the cost outweighs the benefits, but it could easily be done.

Louis that is hilarious!!
I need money to by digital film for my camera........
I grew up with forced hot air and would never live with that system again. Just started the Greening of Steam,it looks good!
Guess I'll have to go down stairs and take a close look at whats there for photo ops.

Stay there, we will keep camping!! Even in the midst of winter!!
