[QUOTE="phil d, post: 482554, member: 27126"] I hope you remembered to tell him that it's fine to install the heater in the manner he was thinking, subject to the following conditions being observed, 1, all plugtop fuses must be replaced with a cut down piece of 6mm roofing bolt, and 2, the earth pins must be snapped off the plugs and a piece of plastic jammed in the socket earths to allow free entry of the plugs. lol The gas cooker made me laugh, I was working in a house and went to pull the cooker out, then realised it was connected with a lead pipe! The customer assured me it was fine to pull it out as was evinced by the fact that when we did get it out, the wall behind it was spotless, as was the floor underneath.(regularly cleaned) A mate of mine was a gas fitter and went to do an inspection on a bungalow occupied by an old lady, a gas cooker in the kitchen and a gas fire in the living room. The gas fire was sat against a hearth as you'd normally expect, but it was on a steel frame with castors on, a bit like a butchered supermarket trolley. He was looking at this when the old lady noticed and proudly told him, "ooh, I see you're admiring my gas fire, my son did that, he's very clever, you see there's no heating apart from this and the rest of the house gets cold so he built it for me, watch, I'll show you how it works". She rolled the fire away from the hearth and there was a load of garden hose coiled up behind it, with the fire lit she promptly wheeled it into the kitchen, "it keeps me lovely and warm when I'm making my tea, and I can take it into the bathroom too". She was less than impressed when he disconnected it as dangerous, honestly, some people have no idea. [/QUOTE]
