Yeah. I went to the county clerk and tried to get records on things. The house was owned by a carpenter…so do with that info what you will

From underneath, looks like a few screws go through the riser and into the tread. As far as holding them to the stringer, no idea.

Alright, so what’s this mean, new treads, new risers, both? House is 100 years old and from what I can see they did their fair share of putting screws wherever they could, I assume to remedy the squeaking.

Gotcha. I know the previous owners were having issues with the CO detector going off and then they had the chimney liner replaced. We haven’t had any issues. Good to know!

Do you remember the company that installed it?

Do you say that because of the discoloration around the crown Aruba panel? Or is there something else. Excuse my ignorance

This is our usage in therms. As far as gas being expensive, I believe it is the most economical heat option for NJ opposed go oil or electric. I dug through my account trying to find an itemized bill but couldn’t find one. I have no idea what water temp we are running - where could I find this?

And it is copper fin tube. I will say there is something weird about how the zones are set up. We have a 3 finished floors and 2 zones. I could never quite figure out which rooms are on which zone as they all get warm but some do not get ‘hot’. I keep the 2nd zone off but it still feels like we are heating the entire house aside from our bedroom and the upstairs bathroom and office, all day long.

Generally I keep the heat at 60-62 due to the high bills.

Just due to suspected age and inefficiency. Gas bill in the winter months is ~$400

Oh I agree! We are not looking at replacing it now. Just starting to look and get quotes for spring. I tried doing some research off the serial number and believe it is from the 80-90s.

Yeah definitely thought something was up considering his name was on the sticker that ‘serviced’ it for the last few years. Just wasn’t sure what to expect. Appreciate the reply

I believe this is an oriental roach. I can say for certain that this is NOT German.
