Effectively heating multi-family buildings can be tricky.

So I’m in Europe and telling these nice guys about my 77-year-old Aunt Lucy and how she moved into her studio apartment on Second Ave. in New York City back when J.F.K. was just taking the oath of office.
I heard they had let Russ
go when I was out with some contractor friends. It just came up in the
conversation and that was that. The company had been bought by another company
some years back and the owners of the original company had done their time and
moved on. Russ stayed because no one could imagine him anywhere else. And I say
that because of the way the guy worked.
No matter the experience level, there always is knowledge to be gained.

Tim McElwain runs the Gas Training Institute in Warren, R.I. I don’t think there’s anyone better than Tim when it comes to teaching about gas. He’s been at it for decades and is an industry treasure.
What's changed over the last two decades, and where are we headed?

I began writing about hydronic systems for Supply House Times’ parent
company BNP Media about 16 years ago. Back then, each column was created on a
boxy little Macintosh computer with a 9-in. screen, printed on a dot matrix
printer and saved on a 3.5-in. floppy disk. Every month, a printed copy of the
column along with the floppy disk were mailed to the editors.
Back in my rep days, the vice president of our company was a flashy guy
with a gold lion’s head ring the size of a golf ball, an even bigger, fancier
watch and a Cadillac that had a three-body trunk. He replaced that car every
two years, alternating between an all white one and an all black one.
