AND... look where they live... INVERCARGILL!!

And I thought "yeah..they must be live in Auckland which is understandable" but it was shock to see they from INVERCARGILL..... Helen, do you think you will buy one for your house????

[Moorf]

No, no plans to. We'd rather double glaze tbh and have had quotes for that - we like our coal stove/wetback and fireplace although, so as not to get through as much wood, we may eventually install a woodburner in the fireplace... and it wouldn't really fit well in this place unless it had whacky radiators

Your woodburner does a great job, I had to open the doors to cool down as I'm not used to it!! :o

.. although, as you know (I think Woz and Gary talked about it?) we have a small rad that runs off the wetback which we're thinking of replacing with a larger, more effective one... hence my searching TradeMe for radiators - so if anyone spots a single radiator for sale please let me know! :nice1

[debnjohn]

Hmm, looks like a bit of a hotch-potch of a system, I wonder how effective it was? The radiator in picture 2 is woefully small given the size of that window, and the cast-iron jobbie in picture 3 looks like it has come out of my (1960's) Cornish primary school and been retrofitted with micro-bore pipe!:laugh

Cheers,

Have you try junk yard? just in case another kiwi got same ideas - get rid pom's heating system :laugh

[Leccy-Lee]

Blimey worlds smallest radiators? Although i would say at $1000 its still well worth fixing up...

I have added a comment on the auction :P
