Radiators

Still freezing to death, still working toward getting that furnace in. I never thought I would appreciate a heated house, and I think I'm going to kiss that furnace every day.
But, this project house has given me a new motto, "first things first".

First, we have to find a way to get rid of fifteen cast iron radiators scattered throughout the house. This is just one of the behemoths, pulled it out of the wall, but that's as far as we got. I have called numerous scrap companies but no one wants to come and get them ???  Gee, maybe because a couple hundred dollars a ton isn't worth the haul.

This radiator is in the bathroom, behind the toilet. We can't even budge it. I am starting to think that they actually built the house around the boiler system, because I cannot figure out how they got these things in here.

There were little pockets of fun though...

We found a Sterling baby spoon and fork, a 1942 Silver Quarter, a couple of old pop caps, and some marbles. I have collected marbles from every house I have lived in. I have a small crock full of them. Not sure why, but I love the marbles and I am always excited when I find them. In the closets, under old carpet, even outside in the dirt. I'm sure I will find a lot more marbles in this old house...
