A fella was here last week to clean the boiler thing, he had it done in five minutes but he spent another half hour running up and down the stairs and out to the back yard looking up at pipes, all to justify his 100 euro fee, and who can blame him, everyone's on the fiddle these day, goes right up to the top.

My plumber has been rushing around banging the radiators, then playing with the knobs. Apparently that is balancing the system!!!!

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
