I'm pretty handy but have the title of the world's very worst when it comes to technology. I manage to switch my computer on and off, that's about it. I'll have another go in the next couple of days but will take a new picture first, with it all rigged up.

That kind of works but very small. Did it directly from the page on here, without using any external app or anything.

Is that the water supply to the hovel? Calder and Hebble hand spikes? I see the attachments have to be smaller than 1mb, not very big allowance for todays phone pics, they'd need shrinking down.

No it's the source of the water that came down early last year and flooded my house. Blocked culvert. Fixed now, I think.

Up out of the engineroom for a coffee break.
Yesterday was a bloody awful day work wise. I started trying to fit the 19mm id rubber radiator hose sections that join the Whispergen's circuating pump to the standard plumbing I had already installed.
I had mounted the pump on the unistrut frame with padded pipe clips .... fine, solid and protected from vibration. However when trying to fit the hoses the curve in the pipe was too tight and it was tending to a) cause the pipe to flatten and b) put too much strain on the outlet of the whispergen.
It's a bastard, I am having to change the unistrut frame to fit the pump in a better position and of course all the other piping is on munson rings fitted to the unistrut. Changing the frame also means that some of the rigid pipework needs to be changed as well ..... yesterday was definitely one step forward and several back. Fitting the rubber hose to the header tank (found a Iveco Daley one is ideal size) was also a real pain ... I don't know what size id pipe Iveco use but I think it must be a fraction bigger. Getting it over the moulding was impersossible .... I even unbolted the tank from the bulkhead so I could get more pressure on it but no way. In the end I had to chamfer the end of the plastic and then with plenty of Fairy Liquid and much blasphemy .... it went on !!!
This morning I have finished the part strip down of the pipework and the frame and after my coffee break I will hopefully start on the onward and upward bit again
This total overhaul of the heating systems on Sabina has turned into a proper marathon, I seem to have been doing nothing else for months now. I have even missed out on a couple of trips, the last one I did was the tug collection from Portland and that was about 7 months ago !!! I'm getting withdrawl symptoms !!!

Hope it all resolves before the winter weather is amongst us Gas boiler serviced this am.. the heating engineer tells me he's thinking of changing his gas boiler to some other form of heat producing scheme and is looking at solar... hmm if the boss man of a Gas servicing company is jumping ship makes me think. However as my gas boiler is ok atm and causing no issues I will watch n wait
