Last weekend Dave replaced some of the single radiators with double ones, we’d decided more heat was needed in the saloon & the bedroom so only needed to change 2 of them.
First of all he had to drain the system so we opted for a hi-tech solution to prevent any spillages & modified a plastic milk carton to catch the brown soup…
We considered applying for a patient patent for this new invention, but came to the conclusion that it might be too expensive & it’s complexities might just put people off a bit…
It’s ok tho, not to worry, the Queens offered her royal seal of approval (bit previous) but it’ll do…
And we decided to politely decline any offer to appear on Dragon’s Den, the sarcy toffs can’t hurt us cos we don’t need telling our idea won’t hold any water… [Groan]

Later on I noticed there appeared to be no difference between the single & double radiators, they both look the same. Maybe I was expecting the double ones to be twice as wide but they weren’t.
Single radiator or double…?
Well as it turns out the double ones are slightly wider, tell you what tho they really do belt out twice the heat, so who cares…?
PS: In case you’re wondering the one in the photo is a double,,, I said a double…
As usual, with nothing ever being straightforward round here the new one in the bedroom sprung a leak from the start, Dave tried everything short of draining it & taking it off the wall --- then gave up, basically cos he’d hurt his back & had enough… So with renewed inspiration this weekend he sorted it out good & proper earlier on, but it still required more hard graft…
Ah well, at least its sorted. Next on the agenda, fitting an extra radiator on the other side of the boat, but we may have to check out the health insurance first…
