My plumber arrived a little late this morning but when he arrived his big van pulled up outside louis  was going mental. He unloaded  all his gear. I watched him carry  my new boiler indoors I felt guilty because I could not help him he really struggled up my front steps.

But  soon he was  underway dismantling my old one cutting pipes etc. After a couple of hours and cups of tea my boiler cupboard was now empty.

Sods law the new one was bigger and the pipe outlets were in a different order and the flu was totally different . I got that frightening HM! this could be a problem. That flu is going to be awkward . May have to  cut a new outlet in the outside wall.  HM! I wonder where that pipe exits. A few more HM!s later it got worse. This cupboard wall is not a solid wall he said. And the back board that  the boiler was hanging on  is not secure and I am not sure how we  mount the new boiler. The rockboard  protectorsboard was levered off the wall. We dont need those  because the new boilers run cooler. OK. After a while  he decided  that it wasnt such a problem . Soon  several problems seem to  be overcome and the boiler was now secured on the wall.  Pipe work was joined and soldered. Now it was late. So he packed  and now will return in the morning. It looks so  neat and tidy. Watch this space
