Laura & CTB Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Yesterday morning woke up to no heating! Checks thermostat - clicking but nothing happening. Ha Ha she says - must be problem with thermostat - buys new thermostat and fixes into place after work with help of CTB ( holding torch). Just puts last screw into place when CTB says " I just got dripped on" Looks up to find water dripping through ceiling and on further investigation finds cylinder leaking like a good 'un Call plumber who comes out and drains system saying he will be back today at noon to install new cylinder.......... Survive freezing cold night. It's now 7.30pm and I am still waiting for hin to arrive I'm FREEZING cold and if he doesn't turn up soon I am going to sleep in the eglu with the chickens - one each as ear muffs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theherd123 Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Oh no its not the time of year to be having heating problems is it!!??? My best suggestion is to get a nice cup of hot chocolate & snuggle under a blanket with your OH until the plumber arrives Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen & co. Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Poop hope you get it sorted soon karen x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cate in NZ Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Oh, no. I do hope that plumber turns up soon. Chickens as ear muffs sounds like a great idea, except that you'll have the most gloriously toasty ears...... and frostbite on the toes I do hope that you get it sorted very soon.

Laura & CTB Posted December 20, 2006 Author Share Posted December 20, 2006 Thanx for the sympathy - I'm on my own (OH has gone to work) with a glass of white wine ( which is also cold) - should've gone for the mulled wine instead methinks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
