W in tears this morning.
Cos it is so cold and of all the blasted room thermostats the house came with very few are working now.
Needless to say they are all ridiculously, over-complex bits of utter poop.
So I got shouted at as she wants a shower and the bath room with the shower in is cold. 9 degs C. So I put the heat up in it. the other bathroom is one where the stat no longer works.
I have replaced two of the stats as the rest were OK or unnecessary, but the more important ones have now also gone on the blink, quite literally they just click on-off. Went to make a cup of coffee a minute ago and the one in the kitchen/utility which was working until I looked today, is also fubar.
RANT!!!
Replacements were €40 each last time we got a pair and that was a few years ago. So lord knows what they'll cost now.
We'll replace a couple more with proper stupid replacements then I'll look for more conventional on-off type ones.
Why oh flipping why does all this poop have to happen when manufacturers make stuff? Stats aren't rocket science. The one in the hall of our UK house dates back to 1984 and still does the job. I could do with about 5 or 6 of those!
The thing is we only need the heating for a short time each year, so the rest of the time we concetrate on other stuff. and the log stove heats most of the house well and the lounge/diner brilliantly. But it is exceptionally cold at the mo.
