Not only am I without a boiler, a house that lookalike a tip and a needs a good clean right through, new carpets, and redecorating,but last night, on my way to bed when:-

GRAUNCH,! THE STAIR LIFT JAMMED HALFWAY UP.

I suspect the heating men dropped something into the works, I'm hoping its repairable , but I feel not. I'm waiting for the lift man to come.

I feel ready to throw myself under a bus!

Oh Galen that must have been the last straw. Hope it gets sorted out very soon.

Must feel like the goddesses are against you at the moment Galen. How about a Gransnet work party to blitz the house & decorate. I'm sure we have a few boiler fitters & stairlift menders in our midst. As long as we don't have to wear tight Anneka Rice outfits. Hugs.

Hope you weren`t stranded halfway up the stairs overnight Galen! I`ve often wondered what would happen if our stairlift failed, touch wood it`s not happened yet! I hope all goes to plan today, and that your heating gets even more tropical!

number please mine died 1/2 way up a few months ago and I found it difficult getting out of it safely because of the direction it is facing. My saving grace was that it is a modern house and the treads are broad otherwise I could have had a nasty accident.

I suggest that you practice getting out but stopping the chair on the bottom rung for safety.

Charleygirl, that`s the problem, our stairs are very narrow and steep, my knees touch the opposite wall on the way up and down, I think I`d find it very difficult to get off it if it stopped!
