we're going to start installing our in-floor radiant heat components and getting ready to hook up our outdoor boiler all of the components we ordered finally showed up i'm not saying we have everything we need here now because i'm sure we're hooking everything up there's going to be one or two things that i'm going to be lacking but i'm hoping i have all the big stuff that we have to order there's gonna be a little parts and pieces i'm assuming like connections we're gonna need to get that i didn't think of but we've got all the big stuff we're hooking up an outdoor wood boiler made by heat master and going to get everything hooked up from the wood boiler to inside is inch and a quarter packs and going around looking i found it's very hard to get inch and a quarter pex pieces at least locally in our area lowe's home depot don't stock them we have two plumbing supply stores they don't stock this stuff so i had to go online and order it most of the stuff online took a week to two weeks to come in so i don't know if it's just with everything going on right now that there's a shortage of that stuff or if inch and a quarter is hard to get anyways so one of the things i had to order in was our hot water heater the reason i had order in the hot water heater is i wanted at least a NUMBER_TOKEN gallon hot water heater we end up getting an NUMBER_TOKEN but i wanted to have side ports from doing all the research i've done if you have side ports you don't need to have a circulated pump to fill your hot water tank and keep it nice and hot it'll stay flowing with natural convection if you have side ports if you have top ports when you're going to put in your heat exchanger it won't have a natural convection because you have to go up and then down so it doesn't work it would work with a circulator pump but us being off grid if we can get away with not using a circulated pump to keep the hot water and a hot water tank circulating i don't want to if i don't have to so that's why we waited to get this tank in it came in damaged on the bottom the other day we had to order this online the freight company delivered it and the truck driver said hey it's damaged we made some notes i haven't opened the box yet so let's get this opened up see how it looks inside and
