I think I might have left myself open on this one now, especially after this last pic

I wonder if I should go and draw round the 'image' on the wall itself

I think I will take another pic of both walls now and 'draw' the cat so Donna can see what I mean

So as Donna couldnt see 'Evil/Startled Cat' Ive drawn it for her

And the red arrow even marks the obligatory 'Pencil Sharpener' that all cats possess

As you can see my 'drawing skills' leave a little bit to be desired, they are almost as good as my facefook ones

Annoyingly it is the Rad that is sloping, it was like that when I moved in, and on the right hand side, the Rad isn't quite on the bracket, but to put the Rad on the bracket will make the slope even worse

I would really like to get it sorted, but it will mean draining the whole system just so I can straighten it although not entirely sure the best way of straightening it

i did think about just bending the pipe slightly, but to make it level properly I will need to slacken off the rad and pull it down away off the brackets and refit them

The wall isnt level either, which I have no idea how that has come about, as it is about 2 inches further out towards the Rad on the right hand side than it is on the left

Stuck in meetings this afternoon with the MD, so it was a welcome relief to come home and watch plaster dry
