Central Heating going in at last
The plumbers turned up today. There were loads of boxes of radiators and a largish boiler. All the rads and the boiler have come from Italy where they were made. We have waited ages for them to start the work.
Originally we waited 6 or 7 weeks for a quote. Then another 2 months for them to get all the parts in. So now they have actually started putting the central heating in. :D I asked one of the plumbers had he put many CH systems like this in before... his reply was "nope... never in NZ"... then explained to me that he'd worked in London and Leeds for several years putting in Central Heating. Today they have attached all the downstairs rads to the walls... and the boiler into the storage room. We've noticed that one of the rads they have got for upstairs is too big to fit where its going... I dont think theyve noticed, so tomorrow morning I will have to tell them. So you can guess what state my house is in at the moment. I try to go out to keep away from the mess and let them get on with the job. They only told us today that they cant fit the regulators and connect pipes to LPG bottles. You need a registered gas fitter to do that. We've had trouble getting somebody to do it but at last have arranged for somebody to come out on friday now. Have also just opened an account with a company who supply the gas bottles. The gas fitter wont do the work unless the gas bottles are there.... the gas bottle people wont deliver the bottles til there is flat slabs for them to stand on and chains to secure them....Its all fun eh? Will keep you posted with how it goes and if it works?? :D:confused: |

Nah.... not that soon. They reckon they will have to carry on with the work early next week too. So not sure at the moment when it will be done. Seemed crazy today putting it in today as it was so warm but its pretty chilly now. Looks weird as I walk round the house and I see radiators on the walls.... thinking Im back in the UK! :D Just seems odd.
Gotta be honest, it's nice not having to plan your room round the rads on the wall. :lol: Still would love to have heating rather than woodburner, the dust it creates is playing havoc with my chest :thumbdown: |

Cant seem to get any more coal for it at the moment either so we are burning wood and its costing us quite a bit. You also really dont wanna know what our leccie bill for last month was running the oil filled rads.:eek: |

I would also love to have CH back in my life again so I could move freely about our home without the antartic chill factor . The log burner appeal has worn very thin I have to say.
