When I was younger I was so fascinated by older homes.
- My fascination was thanks to my Mom, however growing up, our house was full of antiques, but our antiques were from antique shows plus purchasing them abroad; Seeing these antiques were a constant reminder everyday that you don’t need modern plus new furniture plus items to make a home.
Our home was undoubtedly particular thanks to the several different kinds of antiques that my family collected. Once I became older plus was outdated enough to have a home of my own, I looked for an early 19th century home that still had a lot of the original furnishings. I found the perfect home in a small neighborhood outside of a major city. I kept a lot of the original flooring plus items, unluckyly I could not keep the original outdated steam radiators that were in the home. The outdated steam radiators were not just loud but I felt like they wouldn’t keep my home as warm. Plus I wanted an updated Heating plus Air Conditioning system. I looked up online plus saw that the type of steam radiator system that I had was the one-pipe system. The boiler that is in the basement will heat up, causing steam that goes into the heating pipes, filling the inside of the radiator furnace plus forcing it through the vent. Once the warm air is through the vent, it heats the body of the radiator making it feel warm to the touch. This heat radiates off the body of the outdated steam radiator making the home feel warm. I like the look of it but I need a more reliable heating system during the winters.
