" 2) Flush the boiler through the waist valve
every 2 weeks or so. Caution water sludge will
be HOT."
Wow, that was not something the repair guy mentioned I should do. Does this sludge come out somewhere? How do I know which valve is the waist valve? The water valve is easy to spot, it's red and stands out from everything else.
I'm gonna replace the windows and put new vinyl wood grain. I think they will be worth the money with the energy saved and increase the value of the house. Not to mention they'll look nice. My current windows have been painted 100 times and rattle when the wind blows if the storm windows aren't shut. I was gonna do them anyway but have decided to do them pre-winter now so I can start saving sooner. Besides, my boyfriend works for a home improvement co and can get the windows at a discounted price.
Thanks for the replies, guys. I'll ride this boiler out until I HAVE to get a new one.
