The Hornet's Nest

Don't do games on it, occasional DVD and try and find a decent stream for the game on the net, which is few and far between these days! I will probably just update the Dell I have as it has been OK until recently!

 

Shouldn't cost anything to service/repair, thanks to insurance. I just want to do away with the tanks in the loft - seeing as I've just converted the loft into three bedrooms - as they are a bit noisy. But £4500 is a bit steep.

 

Got you , so money would be spent on relocating all the plumbing ,boilers etc! thats why your price seemed a little high

 

Yes - £2000 for the boiler & £2500 to fit it (move it 2 feet to the right into a cupboard!), get rid of old tanks etc.

If I was 20 years younger I'd retrain as a heating engineer

 

Could not the old boiler be used to save a bit and the pipework extended a couple of feet , then box over the pipeline! or even chase them into the wall a bit!

 

My old boiler is coming home from her holiday soon.

I hope you use the word boiler like this for wife, if not this is not funny

 

Very funny Ak, you need to have a look at Les Dawson on Youtube for more humour like that!

 

Afternoon

Whatever the blue few tell you about us on the match thread don't listen to them, they don't know a thing

 

No - it needs a different type of boiler to do the job I want done. A combi-boiler, which does away with the need for water tanks in the loft.

 

Fair enough BB water tanks in the loft always make me nervous too Ours is in the cellar!

 

Is that what you call your flood water mate!
Having been flooded before I know it is not a laughing matter and would hate to go through it again!

 

boiler is actually quite high up so I can bleed it and clean the pump in it when necessary! Our problem after excessive rain was water came in through the roof took out the lecky circuit that controls the water pump in the drainage system , thus water table rose and the pump failed !
Now with the roof fixed ....fingers crossed!

 

Good luck, hope the rain that hit NE England and Scotland does not come your way

 

Been honking down most of yesterday , last night and today , so far things holding!

 

And long may it continue to hold!

 

Just got kicked off the site and when I went to log on again, had to give username/password - that hasn't happened before

Also, the little blue buttons that tell you if there are any new, unread posts on each thread seem to have disappeared - anyone know how to turn them on again?

 

Afternoon all - still suffering a bit of Istanbul belly, so had to WFH today...Seems to be a lot of problems today, what with boilers and dead lap-tops - perhaps it is a sign?

BTW - Thanks for the coffee each morning AK, it was much appreciated whilst I was away...

 

Hope your feeling better now !W-y

 

Thanks AK much appreciated, got called out shortly after your post but look forward to a cuppa tomorrow.

 

I could have tried Turkish for you W_Y but that is not everybodys favourite.
