A draining experience

With a great deal of whooshing and gurgling the old central heating system has been drained. Given the size of the building and the pipes, this took a while. Next we get the plumbers to disconnect the radiators and call in the architectural salvage folk in Edinburgh to take them away.

Getting anyone to take away the scrap piping is a bit harder as there's almost no value in scrap iron (unless you're buying it of course). Probably best to hire a skip as there's no shortage of junk needing thrown away.

Two weeks (estimated) till the new system's finished.
