Roy, your posts are becoming increasingly incomprehensible.

My previous post was not the first time that someone here has said that to you.

Hmm, I think I fall more on the side of "Steve D Incomprehensible", because those I can still understand.

Boiler's been delivered. Should see it back at DL in about a year.

But seriously, I haven't been following the rebuild updates closely. Is the boiler done, or just now being started? And how long has the Marsh been out of service?

Since August of 2010 about one year. I still remain on neutral ground about this.

The boiler has been completed and delivered to the shop handling the rebuild (the boiler was built by a different company). I'm sure other work on the frame and components has been completed in the meantime, but I'm not privy to details.

I don't have specifics at the moment, but that boiler was over 50 years old. Even with Disney's rigorous water treatment plan, the metal can still erode.
