boiler when he sold the house to the second owners (not us). I talked to a plumber about the cost of reinstalling a boiler, and he said it's thousands, but he said the real cost is running it. He said every time you turn it on you're paying a few hundred dollars. Our driveway is big and north facing, so a heated driveway would be great, but I can't justify the cost. Instead I bought a huge snow shovel. I can clear my entire driveway in 5 minutes when it used to take 30.

This is what I bought. One of the best purchases I've ever made.
