The Boiler Saga
Posted in Uncategorized on May 31, 2008 | 4 Comments »
When I told you that our heat wasn’t hooked up yet and it was cold. I misspoke. I should have said that our stupid boiler doesn’t work at all and would become the thorn in the flesh of our first week in London. We have had the landlord look at it and the builders look [...]
