Hey All

I've got a new house with a "Boilermate II from Gledhill Water Storage Ltd"
which resides in my upstairs airing cupboard. When your other half hoards as
much junk as mine, you need every spare inch of space, and when she spends
as much as she does, you need to save every penny ;-)

Therefore I was thinking about moving it directly up into the loft.

My plan of action was to stop the water, drain the system, 'unplug' from
mains, cut a hole in the loft above it then lift it up. Build a platform to
hold it (I presume it isn't light !) then simply extend the pipework up into
the loft. Easy.

Seems obvious. The only downside I can see is that there's a timer and
winter/summer setting which we only change occasionally so not a problem.

So why don't the builders do it, and is it something that I can ?

Thanks all

C.
