Attrition

Oh dear. Almost a year after one radiator went wrong, it looks like the radiator in the kitchen has sprung a minor leak - of the drip-drip-drip sort rather than the WHOOSH! sort last year, thankfully, and onto ceramic tiles, so no harm done. It makes me think that maybe my house has hit the age where it needs extensive maintenance just to keep going.

Meanwhile the Met Office are warning of a bitter winter ahead, so I think maybe it's time I did something dramatic and finally got the central heating overhaul I've been planning for ages. The last quote I got was for £6,000. I'm hoping I can significantly reduce that by sourcing the parts elsewhere and doing much of the work myself.
