It's finally happened!.... We have heating and hot water!!! I think it was sometime back in November when we disconnected the old boiler and started to plumb in the new system. I'm told it's been a mild winter, maybe so! I don't know what we would have done without the trusty wood burner and the electric shower. But hey, lets not dwell on the past, it is now working!!!

In all it was a very busy bank holiday weekend, M's parents came down, M'd dad was working with him on getting the heating and hot water finished and M's mum did a sterling job of painting anything that didn't move, while I spent more happy hours in the greenhouse with mini-C avoiding the nasty old VOCs.

The kitchen people arrive properly on site today and it looks like the carpet will be going down upstairs next week, so there is much to celebrate... perhaps with a long soak in the tub...finally...!
