.....and the hot water returns
Although a bit behind, here's the update on our boiler and hot water. After waiting a total of 5 excrutiating weeks we are finally a household with hot water again. It only took multiple phone calls to the plumber, complaints to the insurance company, phone calls to the landlord, 2 delivery attempts of the required parts, and my flat mate to work from home in order to get it done....doesn't seem that bad does it? Discovering that is was only a small piece of rubber material that caused this whole ordeal was definitley an annoyance. The shear size of this whole operation makes me pray that we don't ever have another issue with the flat.....that's when the dishwasher broke. Perhaps a story for another day. I'm happy we have hot water and it's nice to have a warm shower in the morning.

Brilliant. I'd be interested to know the man hours involved in such an ordeal.. phone calls, driving time, staying home, griping about it over beers, blogging about it.. then calculate the carbon from 2-3 trips.. sending parts etc etc.. in terms of inefficiency it's staggering.. Sorry to hear about it.. the yellow haus people just got stuck with a 3000+ bill for heating oil.. yikes! Better luck with the "Dish washa"!
