Council removing storage heaters

They have agreed! At last, and they said that we can refuse the oil heating. So chuffed.
They have also agreed that we can replace the old solid fuel rayburn (albeit at our own expense) for a newer solid fuel one and run a radiator off it instead.:j
They have agreed, subject to survey, with us getting a woodburner in the living room as long as it is done to building regs.
They are also going to redo the insulation in the loft that the last bloke messed up (not thick enough by a long shot.).
The only thing we have to do is to sign a form waiving their responsibility to the heating and the chimneys. Which is no harsh thing, we sweep them ourselves anyway and get them smoke tested once a year.

You can get good money on EBAy for old Rayburns of whatever age and condition.
The building regs might require the chimney lining for the wood burner.0 -
