I know I am off topic, but I just saw a huge undertaking. There is a duplex and cottage in Laconia with three coal steam furnaces. They furnaces were converted to oil. The prior owner kept his thermostat on 60 and he was able to go through 2000 gals in a winter! There is a major undertaking to replace the coal furnaces and electric hot water heaters to natural gas units that provide domestic hot water and baseboard heating. There is a big energy credit from the feds to replace the heating. It will save $1000s of dollars a year.
The units were built in the mid 1800's. There are asbestos on the steam pipes and lead paints thoughout the buildings. There is HUD grant to remove them. Interesting tour of the homes revealed old slate sinks in the kitchen, iron tubs with legs in the bathrooms, and the gas lanterns mounted to the walls. Huge step back in time!

The units are sold together with 160' Winnisquam frontage. I am hoping an investor will keep the old charm and restore the properties. I am told someone is interested in tearing down the beautiful buildings and building a mcmansion. Another well crafted buildings gone.
