After we had a water leak, we decided to get a new combi-boiler installed. This shows the work in progress. Click the images for more detailed descriptions. A full review of the work done will be added later.

Thanks! Luckily, I’m not the one doing the work. One of the workmen was pleased to get a comment, once I told him I’m adding the pictures to the blog post, in real time
Dude, can you fix my place up? I got a leaky tub and toilet. I am bad at home repairs. I guess that’s why Im a computer guy instead.
I wish I was able to do all those bits – I’d even looked at the local college to do a Basic Plumbing course, so I at least knew the basics (I can change a washer, but I wouldn’t trust myself to start re-routing pipes).
Maybe you could add that as one of your To-Do’s?
