Hi all,

Been a long time since I posted here, but after reading this thread:

http://groups.google.co.uk/group/uk....dd33b2620a6918

...I remembered what a top bunch of people frequent this group.

The uk.d-i-y Lunatic Association were in full flow there.

Anyway, that aside, I have a question, the answer for which I've not
found by searching the group.

Yesterday we looked at a house in Southampton (3 bed semi) which is
electrically heated. It also has an electric hob (all flavours of
which we loath), and only a quarter of the windows were double glazed.

Double glazing costs and the cost of fitting a combi for central
heating we can figure out, but:

a) How would we find out if there is a gas pipe down the street?

Check with next door and see it they have gas. The pipe under the stairs if
it goes back to the street will be most certainly a gas pipe.
