the wee small room that holds the copper water tank, one actually does that the other which is the same size is used only for storing coats, and the hoover.

but the dictionary describes it better as:
"An enclosed storage space, typically with slatted shelving and built around a house's hot water system to generate a low dry heat, used to dry damp clothing."

Airing cupboard to you and me

[FarmerPug]

dont you call it a hotpress also?
it is used for drying clothes, its good for that with the hot water tank in there.

[DiscoPol]

Airing cupboard as far as i knew, or it certainly was known as that in Manchester in the 70s and onwards.


Christ that makes me sound old

[FarmerPug]

airing cupboard sounds very fancy like your living in some big manor house.

[lozz]

ah air cupboards
we had 4 of them, 1 is now a en suite bathroom that dont get used
a fink this house had Argas so it wouid have had a few boilers for storage ive never looked into that tho as to why,

in the kitchen area we have got some sort of victorian panel thingy with the room names on

Drawing room and the numbers of the rooms so ipresume they wouid of had a Maid Or Wench in the olden days,
ipress the bells to call the wench but nowt happens

Wife moans like feck when iring the bell and ask it to make a brew idont think she wants the role as Wench

my grannys house has 2 beside eachother, actually 2 doors right beside eachother and you can open them and see the other room there is no wall between them i dont understand why my grampa did it like this but he did it.

Maybe they got bored in the olden days.
and had to build something, inotice the olde folk loved wood and everyting had to be mahogany

its abastard to paint over bet they didnt think about that tho as they had Lead paint then

[FarmerPug]

it must be a right and fancy house with mahogany in it.
Id like a bit of mahogany in the house for that olde look, im not a big fan of these minimalist designs.

no mate its not fancy its a victorian Mannor house i hate it sometimes,
winter is anightmare here if it wasnt for all the land etc igot with it iwouid of moved ages ago,

im on a 15year lease idont own it but ihave to do all the repairs and the victorian fixtures and fittings have to stay im not allowed to burn the victorian fixtures

[FarmerPug]

its old, but old houses have so much more character, our house is just a bungalow, and watching grand designs or even compared to my grannys house its very conservative.
But big houses are expensive to heat that is a problem, though my grannys and uncles house runs off the same heat source as the 12 mushroom houses which is a wood chip boiler so its all eco friendly.

[lozz]

yup very true,

big houses are expensive,
this one takes around £70 -£80 aweek in electric
then theres the gas which is around £50 a week + more in winter,
iwas burning stuff in the coal fire to save on costs but it dont work out as coal is to expensive ,

ive been looking at geting a Arga and running it off bio fuel but icarnt find one as yet theyre like gold dust atm to get hold of, ifcan find one it will save me a fortune in heating costs,

[FarmerPug]

woohoo thats expensive
whats the insulation like is there double glazing?

my mums house is easy to heat only she complained for a while about her room being cold thats because with the leak in the attic we dumped all the soggy glass wool. its amazing the difference it makes

but my grannys house is amazing at holding in heat they got a grant for the foam injection stuff and more roof insulation its really easy to heat and the heat is free its just the excess from the farm boiler, they havent paid for oil in 4 years.
