So another windscreen day, having a serious think about boilers and such things I had ordered a new valve for the old boiler.
When it arrived i had doubts, there were obviously loads of connections to be made and my sensible head pointed out this would not be Bedford easy access stuff it would be difficult to get to.
This proved seriously right as I struggled to get joints to shift which were multi metal.
The boiler was new in 1998 and t means they have spent years being hot and chemically fusing.
It took hours to get the thing off.
This involved bending many of the pipes right out of shape and therefore having to bend them back to fit it all back together
This was as simple as you think it might be.
as in
Not easy
So anyway I got there
Turned on the tap and mucho hissing bubbling later no hot water.
So this morning we had a broke valve and hot water
Now we have a sorted valve, lots of leaks and no hot water
Life is cool
At least our log stove is in heat mode
