A lovely sunny but chilly day here. The Leucistic House Sparrow showed up again, along with a huge flock of House Sparrows, Rock Doves, Collared Doves and Starlings and also had a Pied Wagtail in my driveway. I still have a lot more painting to do before Thursday, so I think the first half of my annual leave will not include as much birding as I had planned, but will certainly be out birding to the max on the second week.
Had another electrician round for a quote, much cheaper than
previous quotes and personally recommended for work he has done recently
and even better he's starting at 9am tomorrow (Saturday) and should
have all the work done before my carpet and blinds get fitted next
Thursday. The three storage heaters I have, will have to be turned off on
Saturday to allow them to cool down completely before removing on
Monday/Tuesday, so its going to be a very cold house until the new
radiators go in!
I collected four of my Rointe Belize Radiators from GTS today,
still waiting for two more to arrive – serious money, but apparently
much more efficient than my old type Dimplex storage heaters, so should
save me money long term and will certainly look far more pleasing to the
eye.

If your old Dimplex radiators thave the bricks inside, grab them for the garden.... they make fantastic edging bricks [they have rounded corners and grooves for the heating wires and look attractive]
ReplyDeleteAlso your electrician will probably thank you, because that's where all the weight is!!
Back unscrews and the clamp at the top is easily accessible... once the clamp is off, the bricks come out easily!!
