Re: gas boiler
Mine is now 10 years old, and if this daft idea of not making gas boilers in or after 2030?, goes ahead, i will have a new one fitted in 2029, and that will see me out. Thats assuming i,m still here in 2029 lol. kt

Re: gas boiler
Like Vernon we had a new heater fitted, old one some 27 years old.
This on e is far more efficient.
But just down the roaod from us according to a neighbor there is a real old boiler, gives her hubby all manner of problems.

Re: gas boiler
Just on replacements , had to have the one side Dividing Fence Replaced last Week, as the old one was falling down LOL
Will also now have the other side done , just waiting on install date!
The one that is done cost me $6000 , all Hardwood and Metal Posts Concreted in at 600mm with each using 30kg Concrete Mix! 60 Meters Long and 1.5 M High (6 Foot)
The other is costing $8000 as we are paying it all, young neighbour is a bit strapped for cash. A bit cheaper as its 40 Meters Long and 1.2 High same Materials.
Ph the Joys of owning a House! LOL

Re: gas boiler
Down here in Victoria al fence posts are timber, was at one time Red Gum but now just hard wood.
Had all mine replaced last year at a cost to me of $750 for some 35 meters as my share, rest paid by insurance company due to builders stuffing up next door.
The other bit, on a corner block, cost some $3,500 for 18 meters as council do not pay their half share on fences.
