Just the furnace (boiler) alone costs about $5K. Another $1K to get it ready to heat the house, shop and domestic hot water. There must be a metal worker hanging around here who has built one of these for thier own use, or at least could if they wanted. If so, please share the wisdom. Seems to me these things are way over priced. Am I wrong about that? Certainly someone here knows how to build one better and cheaper. We got the tools don't we? Hell, everyone here is a professional weldor! Let's see, you need a firebox, water jacket, blower, fittings, circulator.... Thanks for any feedback. Dan
