suzeanna Posted November 17, 2019 Report Share Posted November 17, 2019 Quote Rain here again, just for a change. About a month ago, we had new doors on our side passageway, white Upvc with glass over. I got some of that self adhesive window film that give a stained glass effect and put that on the one that is at front, didn't have enough to do both. In our small conservatory we've got a couple of wall mounted carriage lamps. With a bit of careful measuring (and still got it wrong!) I've put some of the film on their glass, so now I have Tiffany style lights, without the Tiffany price! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owl Posted November 17, 2019 Report Share Posted November 17, 2019 That window film is wonderful stuff. It's the only reason we can live here without causing a noise nuisance! Wispa can't see anyone unless the are right against the front of house. Fine weather has been postponed until tomorrow. We wuz robbed! Village now marooned again.

owl Posted November 17, 2019 Report Share Posted November 17, 2019 Also central heating not doing very well. Totally my fault for not getting it serviced this summer. Hope it holds out until I can call someone tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yantan Posted November 17, 2019 Report Share Posted November 17, 2019 Owl have you bled the radiators? If not don't do it whilst the central heating is on as it can damage the pump. I was wrong when I said it wasn't raining here. It's mizzling, like a fine mist of rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owl Posted November 17, 2019 Report Share Posted November 17, 2019 No, I did think of bleeding the radiators but can't get the knob things off. Will have another try and if I can I will switch off before doing it. I do have a multi key gadget with a radiator key on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owl Posted November 17, 2019 Report Share Posted November 17, 2019 It's not just that, but the whole thing needs servicing as there are sooty blobs flying out of the vent and landing on the dustbins outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eve Posted November 17, 2019 Report Share Posted November 17, 2019 Suzeanna, I am pinching your idea for my porch lamps - what a brilliant idea. Hope you get your radiators sorted Owl. Cold and sunny here today. Wanted to do some more work in the garden but it's just too cold. Need to sort out a warmer jacket for working outside, my fleece just isn't warm enough. How's your stomach now, Jazz? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazz Posted November 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2019 ive taken Imodium, very tired. not completely helping, new series of Amanda to the rescue tonight. got it ready to tape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzeanna Posted November 17, 2019 Report Share Posted November 17, 2019 Hope you soon feel better, Jazz. Eve, make sure you get the self adhesive window film not the static cling stuff. It clings for a while then it gives up (in my experience, at least.) I got mine from Amazon uk, d-c-fix venetian garden, if I remember correctly.

owl Posted November 17, 2019 Report Share Posted November 17, 2019 Bled the rads to no avail then realised there was a leak at the pump and the pressure was dropping. So whole system has automatically shut down. But engineer is coming tomorrow afternoon and a quick dash got me to the Bargain Buys store which has recently opened in the village. 2 small quartz heaters for a tenner each. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owl Posted November 18, 2019 Report Share Posted November 18, 2019 The sun has got his hat on .... it's probably a woolly hat but who cares? The sky is blue with very few clouds, and the gas engineer is coming this afternoon. Now to clear out the understairs cupboard so he has space to work on the boiler. Watch out, spiders. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
