This Old House by C. Scalfani (Long Island)  4 Stars
February 11, 2007
I bought this book as a companion to the author's book on Oil Burners. Together they cover the entire heating system. This book was instrumental in planning my new heating system for renovating my house. Well the heating system is in and the house is very well balanced with even heat throughout.
I wish the author comes out with some books on other topics like kitchen and bath remodeling. His illustrations were indispensable, and left no questions unanswered.
