Dear Tanya! The good life has begun. Remember how we huddled in the ’warmest’ room in the house, wearing three sweaters and fearing the bills that spring would bring? Remember how we had that empty square meter gap behind the stairs on the first floor? If only we had know what we could do with it! In short, I’ve splurged on the Italian Gas Boiler. Hey, you only live once! And now we’re live with heating and hot water! Not that pathetic dribble we made do with for so long, no, now the hot tap spouts like a Kamchatkan geyser! The boiler is automatic and very simple to use even for me! Sasha said the boiler is smarter than we! You set it during the day and it monitors the temperature, burning less when it is warmer, so the gas consumption is much lower. Its safe with children around but I’ve told them not to touch it. You could do with one in your country house! At least then the New Year Dinner won’t freeze in its dishes on the table like last year! I look at my boiler and I’m very happy. Its beautiful. And it easily fits into the small space we had available.
