Add-On Wood Burning Furnace Install - *UPDATE*

A little over a month has went by since this post,

Add-On Wood Burning Furnace Install.

I thought I would show some pictures of the progress. The original plan was to run the Simpson Dura-Plus pipe up the outside wall of the house since I did not already have a chimney. So I went to the local supplier and bought all of the pipe, fittings, and misc. items to complete the "chimney". All I can say is this stuff is EXPENSIVE!

Making a long story short, a brother of a guy I work with was able to lay up a nice brick chimney for just a little more than what the Dura-Plus pipe cost. Here's the pics.

This was the first step, the HVAC guy who is doing most of the install came and core drilled the basement wall where the furnace is. We used the TC24DA to brace the drill.

The core. The drill even went through re-bar.

Here is the footing. It was 3' by 3' by 3' deep. We drilled re-bar into the foundation walls and tied them into the re-bar in the pured slab. The concrete is aprox 1' thick. Sorry I had no pics while using the BH...it was getting ready to rain.

Some of the materials. I had the delivery truck dump the sand on the front of the trailer and put the bricks behind it and then just pulled it around to the site. The chimney block and liners were moved around with the FEL. Saved a lot of work!

Another shot of the pre-construction. I had the guys set up pretty well, it saved me on labor costs.

Fast forwards a little...I had to work and then a day of rain and then the weekend.
