I'd say this is the latest I've ever started my boiler. Probably could have gotten away with waiting until the end of next week as I look at temps coming up for most of next week. Daughter and son in law are coming home Saturday. They're already whispering mentions of potential snow on Thanksgiving. I may not be real available. Boohoo. Getting the boiler started is now off the list of things to do. It's easy enough to stuff it full of wood once a day once it's started.
I hope nobody needs to buy any double wall pipe in the near future. My chimney was pretty shot. $245 for 3' of stainless double wall and a rain cap. I feel violated.
