We are at the start of 6 months of riser replacement and yet again today had no hot water.
It's great to wake up to normal, functioning water again after five weeks. The plumbers were great yesterday and they did an excellent job. Finishing repairs to happen in January after everything dries out. Big cleanup around the flat today.
The girls are still hissing at each other though!
