The boiler was fitted low down in the back of a deep hallway closet, so that I had to do all of the above whilst lying flat on the filthy floor.

Toilets that work and showers that have pressure. We had one of those heaters (in England and in Spain) that heated water "on demand" but it was intermittent and was basically a fireball with a pipe going through it.

My parents were always going on about that in the 80s to the annoyance of our Greek relativrs.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16368244956096079468noreply@blogger.com
