« X Marks the Spot | Main | Lucky Break: Hallway Floors Look Salvageable » January 28, 2005Starting in the CellarThere are a couple of things we needed to do before it started getting cold. The most important was the boiler. Lack of heat can lead to structural and cosmetic problems, ranging from burst pipes to cracked plaster. The brand name on the boiler is American Radiator & Standard Sanitary, the precursor to American Standard. The stairs leading down to the cellar are narrow and not much to look at. Since we are on a tight budget, we're afraid they are going to remain that way for the foreseeable future.   In what we can only take as a good omen of things to come, the cellar has a bar that's probably twenty or thirty years old. Our theory is that the cellar was the equivalent of the dorm common room when the house was an SRO and chopped up into tiny apartments. Behind the bar we found a bunch of old paperbacks, so we guess it doubled as the in-house circulating library as well.

Posted by: electricgreek1 at January 28, 2005 1:51 PM Electricgreek can you tell me why steam heat is preferable to hot water system? Posted by: Anonymous at February 2, 2005 12:40 AM hey EG why do you recommend that? We're looking to junk our ancient oil burner and get a new oil burner for heat and then put in a hot water heater or 2 for the water. Now everything runs together.

The single most famous electric organ ever. I can't believe that story. It had concrete poured INTO it!! YESH! Well, good luck with your renovation. I live in Brooklyn Heights, so maybe I'll get to see the final product with my own eyes.
