Would be interesting to know the builder and the cost. Also are any of the sheets flanged or all "square corners"

It appears that the backhead is not flanged with a radius, as usual, but with an 45 degree. Or is there something under the shrink wrap that gives this illusion?

I'm going to assume if it came from Canada, it came from these folks, they built our boiler too.http://www.boilersmith.com/as to what it cost to build I can only guess.
