Tuesday was not much better than Monday. The weather all these week has been either wet or very cold. We have has freezing fog on my walk in the morning to crisp mornings that make it difficult to answer a call of nature. Boss thought it was that cold that he saw two lumps under my ears; whatever that means.
The Christmas feeling is now with the family. More food has been added to the box in the back room, which has now acquired some seasonal paper around it.
Boss(he) is making Christmas cards. No his not tight, just likes the idea of doing something special for everyone. All the presents have finally been brought and on Sunday eldest son is on the way home. As I have indicated this is good fun because I can wind him up by standing at his door and he goes ballistic in case I walk over his black carpet. What he doesn't know is I go in the room anyway.
Saturday was grey and cold and boss took off a radiator that was not getting hot and back flushed it several times and then put it back in the system. Then we had some interesting problems which was the result of the pump being put in upside down. Boss thought that a mark in the body indicated the flow when in actual fact the mark was on the other side. Personally, I think he needs his eye sight tested for closeup work.
Replaced pump the correct way and low and behold system is working fine all the radiators are hot even the ones at the back of the house. Interestingly the one in the hall is the only one that is warm.
Sunday and the rads downstairs are luke warm and upstairs fine. Much mattering and other verbalising before boss goes out with D to get both lots of shopping.
Afternoon is spent trying to sort out the rads. The one in the hall is blisteringly hot as are the ones up stairs, whilst the ones down stairs are just getting warm. Pump working, valve working. A blockage perhaps? Seems part of the problem is the thermostatic valve sticking or getting blocked. At least upstairs is warm.
Out with boss for a walk this afternoon and not a sole about and the sun was shining too.Back home and the central heating is no better. Boss is now a little peeved to say the least as he has spent the last two weekends on replacing bits. Now thinking that there is a possible block or trapped air holding off the flow on the return side.
Have a good week and may the sun shine and your heating work.
