Anyone who has seen this blog before may well recall that one of the major issues with this house has been low pressure on the hot water. We had to fit a noisy pump to the shower to achieve adequate flow. But now, Coleman Plumbing and Heating in Taunton are about to change our lives.
Unfortunately, this does involve some demolition in the bathroom to gain access to the hot water cylinder. I spent half of Saturday ripping out the stud walls Richard built around it.
Then yesterday, Stuart came to work and we drained all the water from the house including the central heating, before removing the old vented hot water cylinder.
This is the new stainless steel unvented, pressurized cylinder that will take its place.
Before installing the new cylinder, almost all of the old pipework was cut out and replaced. I particularly like this bit here with all the curves and angles.
It fits, just.

Why didn't you just have them shift it back into the closet and do away with the bump out entirely?
Good question Scott, but if I authorized any diminution of my beautiful wife's closet space, my life expectancy would suddenly become very short!
