Currently installing the new boiler. Should be complete next weekend.

install done. Inspector spent 5 minutes at the house to provide his seal of approval. Next up: backfill the trench and wait for cold weather.

Note to anyone reading. Make sure your supply and return lines are free of all air. When you think they are free of air continue filling with water. I fired the boiler up this morning and I am still troubleshooting. The lines weren't heating up. So, the pump must have been spinning an air pocket. Things are progressing though. I am also starting to backfill the trench.

I installed a valve at my plate exchanger so I could bleed out the air in my system.It was the highest point in my system.Worked like a charm.
Trench looks good.Got any more pics of your install and furnace? :thumbup:

Here are some more pictures.
I will take all suggestions on how to clean up the mess left over from back filling the trench. It would be nice if I could get the yard put back together but the Massey Ferguson is too big and the hand rake takes too long.
You'll notice I hung the pump, y strainer, boiler drains, and mixing valve in the floor joists of my basement. I came into the house just above the bottom plate and will box in the insulated pipe that is on the surface to keep it insulated.
Those pipes actually heat the main floor a little.
