Talk to me about built in storage, bookshelves and radiators - go on, please

[rantyknickers]

We have finally bought a house (well, in the process of buying) and after years of renting I feel the need to go buck wild with proper built in bookcases and storage.

However, looking around the house again, there appears to be a radiator on every blank wall .

There are none under the windows, where I would normally expect them to be, and it is ruining my plans for floor to ceiling shelves and modular storage.

Or actually any furniture at all (wanted to get a kitchen dresser but the only spare wall has a double radiator).

They are going to have to go aren't they? How difficult is it to move a radiator?

Not too difficult. I think it would be worth paying a plumber to do if it meant you could have ideal room/furniture arrangements.
