Or sometimes when the courier company lets the supplier down.
It happens all the time, but we have a deadline to get some stuff delivered by tomorrow as we have to set up for our first exhibition/show of the year on Sunday.
First problem is with our supplier who we ordered two banners to be printed by, they finally cottoned on that they needed to be paid first despite us checking twice. By the time they agreed we needed to pay they couldn't deliver the banners in time for the show, so we cancelled the order. Luckily for them they hadn't printed the banners but unluckily for us, we now have no banners to display at the show. Grrrr.
Second supplier, is for our gazebo, they shipped it out for delivery to us yesterday, but the courier said we weren't in - we were - and so it has gone back to the depot. No card was left so we didn't know, and just by luck I checked online and it was stuck in the depot awaiting instructions, so hopefully it will be delivered tomorrow. Only just in time, so we are keeping our fingers crossed - we do have a back up for this though as we could get wet otherwise as a showery day is forecast.
We have everything else, so having resolved these problems they are now behind us, we are looking forward to a good show.
The ramblings of a far infrared heating specialist blogging about our heaters, our industry and what it is like to run a business!

Infrared heating in the home!
Why would you want infrared heating in the home?
One of the main considerations when installing domestic heating is the appearance of the heaters and the space that they occupy.
Fortunately, infrared heating panels are flat, unobtrusive, and are supplied in a number of materials, finishes and colours to compliment most types of room and decor.
These range from plain white carbon fibre, which is slightly matt and non-reflective and makes it ideal for fitting to the ceiling,
to stunning glass panels which reflect light and movement.
Heating mirrors are also available and are a bonus to any bathroom, as they do not mist up, and cast a gentle warmth across the room.
Picture panels are also available to conceal heaters under any sort of picture to suit your tastes. Pictures cannot be changed so ensure that you choose an image you will happily live with for years.
Infrared heating panels are also ideal for heating a garden room/office or as a single heater in a spare bedroom/office.

Multiheat - where are we?
We are based in beautiful North Devon, we share our office building with a herd of pygmy goats, they get the bigger half of the building, but we get the warmer half.
These are the Welsh twins checking us in on a slightly warmer day than today!
The smallholding that we reside on is also the home for llamas, goats, chickens and dogs, with the occasional lamb and pig! However most of these animals are in fields well away from our office.
It is a quiet place to work except when the rain hammers down onto the tin roof of our office and then it can be a bit deafening. We are about 8 miles west of Bideford just off the Atlantic Highway and whilst we are just a mile or so from the sea we look south over wonderful countryside and on a good day we can see some of the Tors on Dartmoor, over 30 miles away. Today we can hardly see to the bottom of the first field it is so wet & misty.
We have recently smartened our office up and have a wide selection of our products here for the visitor to see, however, we do recommend that you call first as the office is not always manned.
Check out our local website www.bidefordheating.co.uk for details.

Tidying up the office!
About 5 years ago, I bought some carpet tiles to replace the rugs that covered the floor, but just never seemed to find the time to get them put down. As an internet based company tghe looks in the office were never that important.
However, time changes and with the advent of our new website Bideford Heating and our aim to be a "local" company as well as a the internet based company that we have become, it was time to smarten up our act, carpet tiles are now 85% down, a few edges and a corner to complete is all.
We aim to put up a complete range of our panels so that if - no, not if, when we have visitors wanting to look at what we have we look semi-respectable.
So, that is what I have been doing today!
Oh, I have also responded to emails, blogged, tweeted and updated facebook, and have been keeping one eye on the cricket.
Please check out our main website Multiheat if you are not North Devon based, otherwise check out our Bideford Heating website.
Thankyou!

Near, medium and far infrared - what's the difference?
Near, medium and far infrared - what's the difference?
The infrared part of the spectrum lies right next door to the red end of the visible light spectrum and comes just before the "microwaves"!
Infrared can be divided into three categories, near, medium and far!
We know that some infrared heaters glow orange/red and these heaters are generating energy from the "near "infrared part of the spectrum. In terms of measurement this is between 0.75 and 1.4 microns closest to the red visible light. Night vision devices would also use this area of infrared.
Short wavelength infrared is measured between 1.4 and 3.0 microns and is used for long distance telecommunications.
Medium infrared and far infrared do not give off any light at all and can be measured 3.0 microns and above. Heating panels generally fall in the 5.6 to 10.0 micron range.
The more dangerous microwaves are measured at over 1,000 microns and are a long way off the range that infrared heaters use.
As always Wikipedia is a great source for this type of information and if interested you can read more HERE and HERE!
