Yuck! I dread that thought cause, with the price of metals now being sky-high, I'm sure it will involve a price probably warranting a "small business loan" to get it -and the other radiators too - fixed, one at a time though to go sort of easy on the old budget! If there is any such thing as going "easy" on the budget where house repairs are concerned!Jenihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16425701332785470116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34398479.post-55575691419226707922007-04-01T23:10:00.000-04:002007-04-01T23:10:00.000-04:00We used to have them in some place we lived but I ...We used to have them in some place we lived but I can't think where now.

The best thing is being a kid, waking up on a cold morning, and draping your clothes over them while you get ready for school. Nice and toasty when you walked out the door.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
