Our small gas heater in the hallway wasn’t working, so the serviceman came calling. Mmm, seems our hall heater is no longer made, so therefore parts are not available. The serviceman advised that the best option would be to remove the old heater, and to cap the gas line. It took no time at all to unscrew the heater from the wall. Then the serviceman had to climb under the house, find and isolate the gas pipe. “They always send me to these jobs”, he said, “as I’m the only one on the staff who can fit through these small trapdoors”.
There he goes, crawling under the house
A few years ago, we had installed an electric “Night Store” heater in the hallway, which uses cheaper off peak power. So we still have the means to keep cosy over the colder months.
