My
house is a scene of chaos at the moment, but what a productive day! My
new electrician (recommended by Jill and Rob) worked non stop from 9am
to 3pm and is returning again on Monday. Three storage heaters removed and cast aside to cool down and then I can remove the
fire bricks to stack up on my border wall in the garden and take the
metal heaters to the dump. Three new radiators installed and look very smart indeed. New sockets put in and a unsightly double
socket, which was situated half way up the wall in the living room has
been removed and moved down next to the skirting board – I will have to
fill and patch wallpaper this hole though. The plan is to hang my biggest bird
painting on that wall and hopefully cover most of the patched hole
up!
My electrician said he might even be able to put a radiator up in the small hallway, when previous electricians said it wasn't possible! This will be awesome if he can, as having wet coats hanging in a hall with no heating is not ideal – it does mean I will have to buy another radiator though, but will only needed the smallest size, which is a 3-element.
The Leucistic House Sparrow is still feeding here, along with a huge flock of House Sparrows, Rock Doves, Collared Doves and Starlings again. A rainy and sunny day here. I hardly did a thing after the electrician left, as I was exhausted from having to move loads of boxes around late last night – boxes that had to moved to fit in the new radiator (where there wasn't anything before) in the dining room. It will be so good to get everything unpacked, which will happen by the end of the year.

For the hall Penny, think about a 500W, oil-filled bathroom heater.... because of its design, you can actually hang damp clothes over the rails.... there are some, also, that pull forward at the top at 45° allowing you to hang stuff in front of the radiator. We had one in Leeds... runs off an ordinary socket.
