Hello...New Guy
« on: October 08, 2014, 09:34:54 PM »

Hello;

I'm a new guy to the OWB scene and currently looking into the purchase of a BL3444.  I live in SE Iowa so a dealer appears to be hard to come by.  I've been working with corporate but there something about working directly with the individual you are about to make a significant investment with that makes it a little easier.  That's about the only thing that keeps the CL6048 in the back of my mind.  Already have my Logstor pipe on order and looking forward to finalizing my decision and getting the install complete.   

I will be heating a two story with finished basement which is just under 4000 sq ft.  I will also be installing in floor heat in a newly built 40x80 shop in the next year or two.

Thanks;

I decided to go with the P&M BL34-44.  I'll keep you posted as the install progresses.

This gold nugget was delivered today.  I should have it in the ground by the end of the week.

Thank you.  It definitely helped me with my decision to move forward with this project.  I've been reviewing as much as I can.  The Link-Seal seals are scheduled to be delivered tomorrow.  Hopefully the rain will stop and everything will dry up in a couple days.

Nope.  The pic was taken before the pipe was shipped.  I'm assuming those belong to Classic Comfort.  I have a Ferris 1500z I really like.  It truly cut my mowing time in half.  Granted I went from a tractor style with a 48" deck to a zero turn with a 54" deck.

Welcome soapcreek,

This is the site for you.

I appreciate your description of the Logstor as a gold nugget.   ;D

My son and I wrestled with our roll and did win out in the end, although I needed some advil with my beer afterwards.

Thanks for the welcomes.  I'm still 2 weeks out and more likely 3 before I can expect to receive my wood burner.  I was able to get the pipe in the ground a couple weeks ago and I finally got the slab down last Friday (just in time).  I've been taking a few pics as I go.









And the slab this morning...
