Nickfromwales Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 I filled and tested a full hot cold and heating system today, not pressure tested along the way ONCE, and only one compression joint weeping. Oh, and all copper and soldered joints. Luck or skill you decide, but dry as a bone............"Excellent". ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferdinand Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 At the moment I am pleased because I received news of my local council enforcing on a landlord for letting out property with an F level EPC. By all accounts the chap is in something of a frenzy because they seem to be looking at the entire 10+ portfolio. Small steps but a start.

Temp Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 (edited) Most pleased about this week... Think I've fixed my mower. It's a V-Twin B&S and looks like the diodes in the kill circuit have become heat sensitive. Official replacement part is £45. New diodes cost me 10p (plus postage). Edit: Oh and I fixed the dishwasher. Bit of scale caused the heater to blow. Edited June 25, 2017 by Temp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wife cut the lawn with the ride on yesterday. Today I asked how come she'd left the tops of the daisies intact. "Because YOU didn't sharpen the blades when I asked!" (I did load the dishwasher tonight though). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
