absolutely. I find that a bit strange, but if that was your experience then I can’t argue that. In our previous place we had a screen above the fireplace and a projector behind us, no one ever had issues (old, young and in between) watching films, sport etc. day to day viewing was an normal TV at normal level (which actually was probably looking down a bit). In our new place we have a large TV at an above fireplace level because it’s a picture/photo when it’s ’off’ and that’s the only TV we have (no fireplace this time). No complaints from old, young or in between.

Just to be contrary. Definitely put it above the fireplace, your head won’t be at a noticeable angle and it is fully articulated so you’ll cope with any minor angle required. Replace the mantle piece with a larger one to provide heat protection (maybe remove a course or two of blocks so the mantle piece can be lower). Then get a Samsung ‘the frame’ TV so that you have a stunning artwork in pride of place, above the fireplace, for those times you’re not watching the box.

Wouldn’t one of the problems be insufficient parking space? You’ve not mentioned that.

That’s great news, I hope I don’t have to make that call 🤞🏻

Hopefully that will be sufficient to concentrate their minds. Good luck.

Can you reject it under the sale of goods act as ‘…not being of merchantable quality…’?

If you make the external mesh size much smaller it’ll be that which is bunged up in no time. You have to decide which filter you want to give the most regular attention to. Personally I knocked up a pre filter to sit between the two, and now, on the Mk2, it’s all going very well - but it does need frequent cleaning, pretty much every 3 months.

I would have thought only you can answer that question for your circumstances? For my circumstances the sectional option was much better than the roller option. I don’t have any roof storage space or lights to obstruct when the door is open and I did want good insulation so it was a very easy decision for me to make.

That’s a bit like me with CAD software. I’m a God with Sketchup I’m a Dog with CAD. But I’m determined to get there.

When you get it. You get it. It’s brilliant.

I would say it’s pretty bomb-proof if you do it yourself, it’s very easy and you’re more likely to take greater care than most pro’s.

I’m with @Jolo on this. I think a coarse filter of some description should be part of the package, if only to keep spiders and fly’s out. Either way, it’s been fun messing around making something that does the job and does it well it seems.

I was quite taken aback by how dirty it got in what was a relatively short period of time. I suspect the farming going on close by may have contributed significant dust. It’ll be interesting to see what the new filter is like in three months time with very little farm activity.

Likewise.

3 months after commissioning the new and improved Mk2 Pre Filter box it was time to change the filter material. The muslin seems to be doing a grand job and the increase in useable filter surface area is being fully exploited by dust and flies.
