 I have reached the conclusion that everyone loves our boiler. We recently decided to get quotes to replace "The Beast Below." To a man, all of those who came out to give estimates whipped out their cameras to share with coworkers. I thought this was standard protocol, but when I asked one, his company didn't need pictures, he was just impressed with the boiler.

   All of the companies also proudly stated, "We can get you a really good one, one that will last 17 to 20 years." Seventeen to twenty years?" The boiler in our house has been heating home and water since 1928! (see picture) It is still working. Give me a boiler that will last 87 years, and then I might be impressed. .

  The Dunkirk company (no, the good folks here at Passed Time have never used Dunkirk to our knowledge so are not endorsing them, except we were impressed that they have been around since 1928!)  has been in business since 1928, but the emblem "RNC" or "NRC" on ours doesn't quite spell out Dunkirk. Any ideas?
