I am not saying it cannot be done, because it sure can. But DIY's and boilers could lead to an appearance on the nightly newscast, if you know what I mean.
I would not recommend a DIY project on a boiler build unless you are a qualified engineer or have someone involved that is.
Also, if anyone needs free firewood in SE Iowa, just let me know. You cut and haul though.

This shows how uneducated you are

Global warming is measured over a span of time not just a year or two of changes. Can't stand Al Gore, and know a couple good science teachers who can't either, but they say global warming is and has happened.

Global warming is a hoax. The scientists who invented the term have even now admitted to it. There were actually talks of lawsuits against it. Its pretty serious stuff. Its been called the crime of the century. Forbes has a pretty good article on it.

Global warming is not just a small location or short time period. It's about the ave temp over time and our ave temps keep rising

Exactly, those that comment otherwise don't really understand what GLOBAL warming is

Well, bkcrrtnps....It was a joke, so I guess I don't think a comment like being uneducated is necessary? I'll put my education against your education any day!!
Facts are Al Gore made predictions, such as the polar ice caps will be gone in 5 years (made the prediction in 2008).
He said...We need fertility management to slow down global warming.
You can't make this stuff up, it's a joke, it warrants a joke!!

I got the joke... even made me laugh a bit!
Propane shortage to boilers to global warming. Thread evolution at its best!
Whats everyone have to say about evolution!? (Kidding, dont answer that)
Daver, I am no engineer. Was just curious because I have never seen one up close. To guys with boilers, what is the cost of the boiler vs. getting it all hooked up (installed)?

When it comes to the Weather, I read an article back in the late 1980's before, "Global Warming", got to be a buzz word. It said the earth had been in a moderate climate mode for the past 20 yrs, and was heading into an extreme Mode for the next 50 yrs. growing things would become difficult. It did not place any blame. Just stated the fact. I sure think they were right! Weather now, gets stuck in Extremes. Drought words are finally appearing on the local farm shows again. Weather pattern is still dry for the central corn belt. As far as Human pollution affecting climate. It really doesn't matter. Just put your nose down by your exhaust pipe. Nasty right? Just run your vehicle with the door shut. Pass out time right? Humans produce crap,,in many forms, and it behooves us to keep things as clean as possible, Global Warming or No Global Warming!

I know of guys making their own boiler systems but I'm not sure its something I would want tackle. The homemade ones I have seen were pretty crude and un-insulated, making them not very efficient. Simple plumbing/electrical knowledge is all you really need to install one like mine. I think they were going to ding me $500 or so to install it so I did it myself. The hot water manifold was probably the most p.i.t.a. part of it all. Mine is a non pressurized system so there is no danger of explosion or steam burn like the systems most people are used to.
Meh, we do need to control population growth, especially amongst the poor. WE all end up paying for them anyway. Reducing population would mean less demand for food, energy, and land.......I'm down with that.

Heat rises whether there is carpet on the floor or not......
You might not feel it as well with your feet, but I'd hook it back up for a test drive before ripping out the carpet.

Air - do you know if they put the proper insulation BELOW the concrete with the PEX in it? I have seen this mistake made. If you don't put insulation below the concrete then you will lose a lot of heat that goes down into the soil.
