Burnham V-87 30-year boiler, 252000 BTU/h.  The thing is overkill but I
love it.  Cast iron baseboard everywhere.

Sorry, I meant NG.  I'm amazed at how expensive NG and LPG are in the
northeast, out on the west coast they cost half what they do here per
therm or less.  Still, if I can get enough of a quantity break on LPG I'll
convert my NG dryer and toss the electric.

I'm just happy not to be paying $0.21/KW-hr anymore (for every KW-hr over
1000 per month).
