It's difficult to remember all the details of central heating problems and gas boiler problems we deal with so we've decided to keep a log of some of the problems and how we've attempted to sort them out. Putting this information online allows other people to look for clues and ideas.
Too often gas service engineers and central heating engineers lack backup and support and we find ourselves trying to re-invent the wheel. That's particularly true for small companies. Boiler manufacturers' technical advice departments can be very helpful but they can also be patronizing and often take some time to answer. Where we get really good service from tech advice departments I'll try to report it.

We're sorry but we can't deal with individual queries about boiler and heating problems at the moment. We just haven't enough time. We're thinking about the possibility of running a forum in the future though, where individual questions can be posted, but we're not there yet!

And in his spare time Paul is working on a web site about Lake Garda in Italy, particularly Limone sul Garda, Riva del Garda, Malcesine, Lazise, Bardolino and the town of Garda itself. He's hoping to earn money by carrying advertising on the site from hotels and tour operators,travel companies and other companies linked to the hotel, travel, leisure and tourism sector. A pipe dream maybe, but we all dream about paying off the mortgage. The site is PictureLakeGarda.com
We have also started to put together a guide looking at different types of shower, gravity showers and power showers. It's still in a rudimentary form but you can find it at powershowerguide.com
