So Pat is in hospital with a fractured sacrum and likely to be laid up, flat on her back, for about the next six weeks. We are gearing up to be around as much as possible during that time. F&A are fully involved and so it is very likely the house will actually occupied by one or some of us right through to the end of May.
Yesterday I had problems with the oil heater and even though the weather is improving it would be good to be able to rely on it as a method for the pretty rapid heating of the downstairs during the inevitable cold snaps to come.
Our caretaker reported a couple of problems: a water leak in the garage and the dehumidifier not auto emptying. I think I have traced the leak to the washing machine supply pipe and may have solved that - testing underway. As to the dehumidifier it may have been a blocked drain or possibly that it was not on a level surface. Testing of this is undeway in the garage. I have noticed just what a heat difference it makes and can understand why it is so effective in the winter.
As previously commented the "Easter" project was to do something about the canopy over the cooking and sink area. Fair progress has been made and before and after picture should soon appear.
