    I really hope this does not turn into a saga.
    Last gas fire lasted 8 years.
    But it is time for a change.
    Off to the sales people we go.
    Nice little local Co, the same one we used last time.
    Choice is made of a nice fire. Deposit payed and we wait for the survey to be carried out.
    It was the owner of the company who turns up yesterday to carry out the survey.
    He moves the fire a little and states " This fire has not been fitted correctly"
    My reply. " It was your company that fitted it" struck home hard...
    But, it turns out he purchased the company three years ago and the previous owner tended to contract out a good deal of work.
    Anyways. Outcome so far: He has to remove the marble. knock out some bricks and install the new fire...
    Watch this space for the oucome towards the end of next week.

    Best way to describe it was a "pregnant pause"
