Brrr!

Story location: Home / Blog / house /
10/Dec/2006

This house is getting far too cold. The bathroom regularly gets down to 10-11C and the front room keeps dropping below 15C. We don't want to use the storage heaters because last year that caused our electricity bill to shoot up by several hundred pounds.

It will be good to finally be able to move out of this place. The kitchen wall still hasn't been sorted properly. Someone was supposed to come and paint the outside wall last month. We got home one day to find the house smelled of solvent or paint and there was a paintbrush in the wheelie bin. The kitchen wall looked completely untouched so we don't know what they actually did. The wall still gets damp but thankfully we don't get water running down the inside any more. The plug socket hasn't been replaced so we're still using the extension cable for the fridge and washing machine.
