I didn't see it answered already but... does a Laddomat have to be at the bottom of the circuit or not? The MIs for the 21-60 say yes, the 11-30 don't comment. But the larger one is fixed-orientation whereas the 11-30 can be fitted any shape..

not nationally, just GB.

In some of the newer plants, the pump doesn't run full time I believe. Certainly the air outputs are rested for periods. I'll hopefully be able to confirm this in the next couple of weeks with our Solido Smart.

PB is a lot springier/ more flexible.

Carrying on. More pipes, more cables, more plasterboard. Howdens stock door linings for CLS-sized studwork so gave them a try and have to say, pleasantly surprised with the quality and service. Got a door to go with, to square things up easily. Had a plasterer down to price some bits and bobs. Waiting for another crew to offer costings now. Plan is, to get the ensuite skimmed out so we can get a working bathroom and get shot of the portaloo. I won't miss the rental going out every month... Which leaves today. Loos don't work without drains, and we'd never got a final scheme together for the BCO. And based on the limited height we have between the current level, the FFL and the FGL I didn't want any nasty surprises re. pipe cover etc. So, called in to request a visit just to thrash out what works and suits. BCO arrives, makes approving noises about progress, doesn't care to look at any internal drainage and agrees to all the points of my (minimal) scheme. I asked if there's anything else he wants to see or check on before I start covering the GF ceilings and...no. Just a look at the safety glass in the french doors. So we're clear to complete the surface water drainage with no inspection required and he just wants a call to pop out and view the foul pipework once bedded. Onwards!

^ Dave's option FTW then.

Irfanview can work with a locked pdf using it's paint tools.

In our house, I do most of the cooking and neither of us are much for entertaining. Plus, we're moving from having a convenience store 400m away to somwhere a *bit* more isolated so shopping habits will change a bit. Still haven't decided on an island yet although if there is one it'll be more a visual cue and somewhee for breakfast I think. Kitchen is a broad U at one end of the open-plan room. Fridgefreezer (small daily freezer) on left, sink and dishwasher centre below the window, rangecooker in right-hand corner. Utility will have a sink, the washing machine and a large freezer. Walk-in larder off it for bulk storage.

I've got a Walabot, I must try it on the screed for a laugh...

You could always just send it in and wait for the list of questions?

yes, I've seen'em. More of an issue with 222s I thought. Can't see me needing them for anything other than lighting circuits tho so I'll happily risk an amp passing through. /now the ones that come with cheapo lights, that look like chokblocks with release buttons on? Purest kelp. Wire isn't caged within the terminal so you're reliant on the plastic to keep the pring pressure up. Naff.

got a kit of chinesium clone 221s and they're very good.

Never come across this before https://www.greentherm.ie/product/greentherm-300-litre-combined-cylinder/ 300l-sized mild steel TS but with an internal 80l stainless vessel for DHW. Had a yarn with one of the fellas from Greentherm yesterday, querying recovery, losses etc but he didn't have much info. How would the flow and recovery of this compare to a conventional TS with a coil? 80l stored at constant temp vs a DHW coil... What happens when you're drawing off? Sure there'll be 80l but (noting that CW is fed to the bottom of the DHW vessel) can the stored body reheat the DHW in real time?

funny I had a chat a while back with someone at CoolEnergy.... I asked if they had plans for a smaller inverter and the response was pretty much it's pointless as there's no real efficiency difference. Umm?

I think a number of different controllers have been used over the years,perhaps a quick call to ESP would get you the info you require?

just for confirmation yes, the only thing to see the Megger was the Compressor. another angle- before getting a fridge man to pull a vacuum to dry off the system might it be worth heating the compressor housing (hairdryer or heatgun) and retry startup with it hot?

I've got to ask the question. Has anyone seen a commercial kitchen with a downdraft extractor?

Wonder if the compressor has now failed sufficiently that the inverter is chosing not to drive it...

And what does your magic book say 08 is?

OK so standard resistance checks cold gave 30M plus for each of the mains-connected portions of the unit. As nothing obvious appeared we fired it up and it went through initialisation, started the fan, stepped the expansion valves and then there were a couple of faint buzzes from the inverter. No shudder, hum, or anything else from the compressor. After this, the multimeter showed 25k from the compressor windings to chassis. I threw the megger on it at this point and the needle was off the scale. Very leaky.

Have you any idea what portion of your £80k is actually for laying blocks? How any sqm is the house? What is the roof and FF construction?

used AVG for quite a while and it went through a very slow and laggy phase. Currently (three or four years?) using Panda Free and can't fault it.

The only issue I can see is getting enough flow from the willis into the manifold, it's certainly something I had to work with. The heat source generally has it's own pump pushing into the manifold... The 'stat in the immersion has a fairly broad hysteresis. You'll probably have to go a fair bit higher than 25 to get it to stay on. Likewise your mixer may not be incredibly sensitive.

80k *labour only* to throw up a few thousand block? Yikes. Where did they get that from?
