After shopping around we would a good old bargain at B&M bargains in York. We got a fantastic Warmlite heater for under £70, great really when you consider the cheapest electric heater in Homebase was £120.

The tiny cream heater fitted inside our fire place perfectly and was well accompanied by 6 dried logs. The only problem we had with the electric heater was that we didn't really have a socket close-by to be able to plug the heater in, so it came down to doing a bit of good old DIY.

Our house is made of bricks constructed from dark matter, extremely difficult to drill through our house will never be at risk from blowing down i the next 100 years. For the job i had to borrow an industrial drill and drill-bit, not something you have to handle every day really. 

It was a task i was looking forward to do, a straight hole through several layers of brick. The plan was to get a straight hole, no mess and no mistakes.... it wasn't as easy as it looks as the wall made holding the drill difficult. After a successful two minutes of "Power-Drilling" it was over, the hole was done.

The next step was to get the wires form the electric heater through the hole - step up the Yorkshire Dad again to take apart the plug, thread it through the hole and put it all back together.

Not only was the job done under 5 minutes, i was also able to clean up without having the dog roll around in the dirt and dust. Once i checked the that the wiring was secure i set about filling-in the rest of the hole with filler.

Take a look at a job well done, phrase for a job well done will be appreciated.
