Question Who is running Veggie at home (furnace/boiler?)

Hey guys - looks like we have built up a decent community of people who are now successfully running their cruisers on veggie. Who has gone to the next step and converted their house?

I am building a new house next year, and I would like to run radiant in floor heating, from a veggie fired boiler. (and the same in the garage (separate building))

I have found a few links and articles on line about people who have modified or created burners, and do this successfully. I have also found a few manufacturers to produce VO or Bio furnaces. I have started (almost finished) a small furnace for my garage that uses a drip style burner and an old hot water heater. I will post pics later.

So.... anyone here tried it? I would be interested in what the results were. My plan is to use boilers, not an air furnace - but I would be interested in any success stories, other than internal combustion!!

Thanks!
