GE gas dryer
Notice that the location of the lint filter has migrated to have a front opening rather than a top opening.
Supposed to prevent lint from getting on dry garmetns as they are removed.
Baby, just lick your fingers, rub along the surface (not shown)and you get results. No need to handle the whole thing.
Interesting also that the drum looks purple. nto so in reality. I wonder if the camera is picking up discoloration of SS due to heat, that is not visible to naked eye.

Oil -fired steam heat and domestic hot water plant.
Burnham Brand boiler
Riello brand burner head.
Left in black= oil filter.
beige, (bottom-left)= circulator to push (non-potable)hot water to basement heating loop via baeboard style convectors ("radiators").
You can also see the Hartford Loop made of 2" wide steel threaded pipe that goes up across and then down This it to keep the water in the boier in case of slight over-fill and when the steam is fresh and not yet dry (superheated). As the steam becomes "dry" it rises and flows by gravity to the radiators.
Green boxes (left side) relay for low-votlage control (24v). One is to control the burner the other is to control the circulator -- allows for a 24v thermostat.
Green round valve (left-side near top.) Thermostatic mixing valve (non-electric) cools water to safe temp by introducing cold to hot water feed line.
Between red valves is water-level viewing gauge. In a steam boiler the water level i partially full, in a hot water boiler it is entirely full.
Left of red valves is water level sensor that---
a) adds water by shooting a signal to the black box back-right (trace the wires).
b) turns off heat should boiler run dry.
Even further left of that is the pressure-limit control switchover a pipe pig-tail. shuts off burner when system is pressureized. cycles burner on and off as home is being heated.
Shoulf that control fail, there is a mechanical pressure relief vavlve above that. It prevents explosions due to steam build-up.
Domestic hot water needs are met by a coil on the right side.
You can see the grey thermostat (aquastat) that maintains the minimum boiler temp, when steam is not needed.

S M L burners and the L one switches to 110v as a "simmer" element.
Half price. Slight mar on left side..invisible to me here.
AVANTI (Turkish) 20" gas stove with sealed burner and waist-high broiler ("Grill" => UK) oven can be used if there is no power for ignitor.. WOOOO-HOOO

good show Steve
did you put the summer kitchen downstairs of was it already with the house. It's very much like the one in my moms house, but hers is a bit dated now and not used anymore, the previous owners were Polish and many of them always had the 2nd kitchen to escape the heat, before a/c became the norm. BTW a pot for every job I see.

I put in that kitchen, Pete, in that my main dining room sits four- only, so I needed a big open kitchen dining entertaining area.
I had put the big 30 inch Gas 1990s self-clean gas range that came with the house down there, and found a 20" wide gas Welbilt brand BOL POS on the street that I brought back to life with TLC and a few Major scrub-downs. for down there also. (*SIGH* Yes I extended the gas line myself.. LOL )
I'm pretty good with pipe.
I wanted an electric range with a glass-top to try, so that was installed upstairs. (I ran the Bx wiring and added the outlets myself.)
I liked it so much that (dfaser, cleaner, safer,much cooler)Tthat I got another one for downstaris and donated that older gas S/C to the neighbor...for HER basement kitchen.. LOL
Brought the TOL (witht he whote top down and left the newer (at the itme) MOL one up here (with the black top.
I will however switch, I lke the small burner in the front for everyday use, and I tend to used the middle sized top burner (element really) most for everyday cooking.

Yes a pot for every job..
Love cooking. Hate to have too much "Stuff"
2 kitchen means duplicates and I hate it.
If I ever get a summer house (here or north) or a winter place (in Florida or south), I will close down the upper kitchenn and use all that stuf in the new place.
Just too much damn stuff!! LOL,and half the time I still go to the "other" kitchen to fetch something!
PS the Martha Stewart pots are decent and were 75% off, open stock. The IKEA stuff is actually very sleek and nice and works on induction as wll (thinking of the future!!!) like it much more than I thought I would. Highly recommended. And slight "V" shape (when upright) means walls of pot come really clean in DW!!

I liked those pot&pans you had hanging in the kitchen. Very sleek looking indeed. We'll have to have a cook off plus a wash-in in the near future. Eat your heart out Emeril! LOL!

Steve-
Thank you for having us all over! I always have loved the idea of a second basement kitchen. I like it better than your "real" kitchen. I also enjoyed reading about your new spin dryer. What a nice addition to a vintage automatic with a slower spin speed (Not everyone can have a unimatic!)
David

Thanks for the pics - it's good to put the appliances with the person now! You have lots of room in the basement for many, many more washers and dryers - and dishwashers too!
