Installing Heat in the Abandoned Bank of Johnston

Today we are installing heat in the abandoned bank of Johnston! With the help of Sarah and a friend & the knowledge handed down to me from an excellent 7th grade science teacher, Mr. Bichler, we lift and install a shop heater and get it ready for the winter season!

Speaking as a day-job compliance guy and 125 year old house rennovator, I'm very glad to hear your promotion of permitting.
Not only the requirement, but also most of those folks are only there to help keep us safe, really. Help a person out who's just trying to help us out.

(I hope everyone's permitting inspectors are as good to work with as mine were. Awesome.)

Looks like that re-purposed heating unit will keep you pretty warm this winter. Good job!

That dump building looked like it had a fire inside at one time! Our dump charges $27 a ton here on the west coast. Warm thoughts for you guys while you wait for heat! lol

Glad you guys installed it. Another thing checked off your list.

Again, vibes were strong on this one. Many thanks for including us!

Oh I loved this about the pulley's both the lessons you talked about and the set up and how easy it all went after what must have been a lot of prep work! Thanks for your story about your favourite teachers but especially about your 7th grade science teacher, Mr. Bichler. My husband was a teacher and loved it and the kids he taught. When he passed away I received so many cards and letters from former students who just loved him, too. Thankful you had a Mr. Bichler, and I'm sure he enjoyed having you in his class. Blessings as you continue on and what a difference you have already made! BTW, Sarah looks so lovely even when working! How does she do that? 🙂

Awesome Progress! Glad the project is going well! Just up the road a few minutes in Monetta.

Will the fan make this unit sway on its mounting? Will the gas line and conduit make it a bit more stable? Love the pulley system. I helped a neighbor/farmer pull some stumps a few year ago. Amazing force multiplier....But ...the amount of rope was daunting!!!

Hope your heater works without any issues. It will come in handy real soon. Great job!

Gotta love pulleys. Thanks for the video 😁👍

I rode right by there Sunday in my way to Ward. Glad you are fixing up the old place and helping beautify DT Johnston. I hope someone does the same to the old VE Edward's building and maybe one day the old movie theater.

Sniff coffee grinds. It helps reset the senses. 😬

Nice work with your pulley system. New fan from Aiken

Love the transfer station. Use to be a garbage Truck Driver. 💙

It might be different locally there, but won’t you need some seismic to keep it from rocking we used to use Unistrut to also build the seismic sway protection.

I hope it worked for you. It looks like a great heater.

You need to be friendly to the people to whom you apply for permits. Don't make them mad. Don't think you know what you're doing, even if you do. Ask questions and make them feel important to your project. Let them do their job.

Check out Brian Branton’s renovation of “Cedar Grove”in Edgefield, Sc only a few miles from you.
It’s a beautiful plantation house build in the late 1700’s.

Teachers, educators are the most important people because they teach us.
It is too bad they get paid so little to do so much.

Discontinued in 2004? HA! I called the manufacturer of my furnace boiler in 2015 and was asked to verify the model number. They then transferred me to a department that handled discontinued products. After giving her the model number, she told me that model was introduced in 1941 and discontinued in 1954. Mine was the smallest size of the model line, at 250k btus. The largest sizes went up to 1M btus and were primarily installed in schools and churches. My plumber had measured it at 20% efficient. I replaced it with one that was 95% efficient. The local utility gave me a rebate based upon a 75% efficiency gain. The state of PA gave me a rebate based upon replacing the original with something more than 90% efficient. The Feds gave me a tax credit for installing an energy efficient boiler. The first three months of winter's savings on natural gas paid for the rest of the new boiler. Seven years in, the new boiler developed a leak in its water jacket and needed to be replaced under warranty.
