First World Problems...
Steam heating systems are robust...they last forever, in part because they are so simple. But they also need some maintenance, and bleeding the air out of the system is one of those things that needs to be done.
Unless your bleed valve looks like mine! One side of the system (it's split into two parts) gurgles like a drunken hobo guzzling Mad Dog 20-20. And it's not the noise that's the worst part; obviously it isn't heating as efficiently, and since I am a cheap bastard, every gurgle is a reminder that my obscenely expensive heating costs (thanks to the leftists in NJ state government) will be just a bit more.
And to top it off, the radiator is behind a decorative panel with an access opening designed for someone with petite hands who can see in the dark.
My best option is probably to rip out the steam system, rip up the floors, install radiant heat, and install new hardwood floors. Or maybe do it the other way...rip out the ceilings and install radiant from underneath.
Or...of course...just burn it down and start over!
