We had a freeze in the pipes which caused huge holes in a long section of pipe underneath the house, damage to our furnace, and burst radiators in one room. The burst radiators leaked and damaged the floor. It was an ongoing problem for a couple of cold months and we went without heat for over one weeks time, all added together. Quite a headache! The house is becoming such a money pit.
Anyway, we had to remove the old cast iron radiators in the library. Temporarily we had a copper pipe running along the edge of the room to keep the system's circuit complete so that we could continue using heat downstairs. Well, we finally had that replaced yesterday.
We had aluminum radiators installed. They are a little smaller than the cast iron ones, and look very nice.
The next steps are to remove the old wallpaper and paint the room; and to repair the damaged floors.
