I put the project on the back-burner due to not knowing how to get started / who to reach out to help. 

It’ll take you longer to gain access to the burner to change the orifice than actually changing it out will.

@Danny Rodriguez I’m in NE PA, and have oil burners in about 12 over my houses.

@Sam Epperson I have put that property on the back burner and I’m currently trying to make an offer on another right now.

We don’t want to start trapping lint and then have it back up the whole length of the vent pipe and it’s all of a sudden at the burners or heating element, because then you’ve got some of the best kind of kindling you could find...

Small jobs are getting put on the back burner. 

We just had to replace the fan motor and burner on one and it was about $750.

Since you'll be receiving something (learning, mentorship, money,...) you'll have to provide something of greater value to your employer-to-be.Ideas: Call bandit signs on the side of the road, and tell them you'll do whatever grunt work they need, as long as you learn how to be a better REI.Google "we buy houses Yonkers" Reach out to them and volunteer to do office/phone/email/design workGoogle "sell your house fast Yonkers" Reach out to them and volunteer to do office/phone/email/design workIf you feel really gutsy, legally put 5 bandit signs on the side of the road, and write on them "must sell my house FAST" and put a burner phone number on it.Ultimately, to get what you want (money, experience,..) you have to provide more value to your employer than the cost of them taking you under their wing.Can't wait to hear what gigs you land!

If you had a 110v one or two-burner cooktop, I wonder what the city would say about that?

I'm going to put this place on the back burner for now and watch to see when the seller come to his senses and drop the price.
