also make sure you resecure them to the wall with good fixings,these things
are bloody heavy and could seriously injur a child if they come adrift

Sorry for a seperate post - but I forgot to include this in the last one
about gloss paint!
The flat I am decorating used storage heaters. Is it OK to remove these
in
order to paint behind them without danger of damaging anything inside ??


I have successfully moved storage heaters without damage to myself or the
heater using the following method. Take a piece of hardboard,smooth side
down and with the help of another person ease the heater onto its back
legs
and push the hardboard under as far as it will go. then carefully walk the
heater forward till it is fully on the hardboard. Your will find that the
heater can be slid complete with it's hardboard skid with relative ease.

This method of moving heavy objects in the home can be adapted to suit all
sorts of equipment. I have even used it with an assembled Aga to
reposition
it 18" to the left!! I did cheat a bit as I had the help of a couple of
Acroprops to supply the necessary force.
