Today me and Nigel fitted a new UPVC back door, it didn't take as long as I expected. We were finished about dinner time. Only took us that long because we didn't really have a powerful enough drill. Ours was 550w and we struggled to drill the holes but got there eventually. It looks good and certainly makes a difference, there is no draft anymore :-)
This afternoon my mam & dad plumbed a new radiator in the bathroom while me and Nigel went shopping for some tiles. When we switched the heating on, none of them would work, oops. Eventually we found out that the header tank was empty and wasn't filling back up (the valve had stuck closed). We cleaned the header tank and the hotwater stop tap and finally got it all working. Well almost one of the radiators isn't working but that isn't anything to do with adding the new one in. They need balancing or something.
We also need to change the hotwater stop tap, when we took it off to check it we realised that even when open it hardly opens and there is a tiny hole for it to trickle through. This means there isn't very much pressure for the hotwater. My dad is going to change the tap on Monday (he is off walking tomorrow).
I filled up some of the holes we had chased into the walls for my network cables as well.
Not sure how much I will get done tomorrow because the Newcastle match is on at about 1. Hopefully go for a run in the morning if my knee and feet hold up.
I'm happy I have the new back door on and I got a few other little jobs done today, feels like finally I may be getting somewhere (where I'm not sure?).
