Amazing how much smoother a job can usually go with some backup. Going to start getting cold soon. Good time to get those babies cranking. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horizondave Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Just realising after turning on BBC daytime TV that women's football is really not interesting to me. 0900 in the morning expecting something of interest, of importance and the BBC are getting Alex Scott and Gabbi Logan to discuss the upcoming women's Euro draw as if it is of real interest to me. I would rather just let my daughter watch one of her cartoons than that crap. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On day two now, 3 x doubles fitted and one single. Time to refill the system and check for leaks before we do any more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real issues with getting all the rads hot again. Endless swithing on and off. But good now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having been brought up in the countryside, then serving in the military it was a truly strange experience when I visited a friend in Espoo, Finland years ago. I couldn't understand how my body didn't feel cold and the weird experience of my feet feeling warm .....in December! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other thing not to forget is a label on the boiler stating the date the inhibitor was changed. In a few years you will forget which year it was when you changed it. 😀 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two rads are not getting water so it's time to rip the floor boards up to get access to the pipes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Derek Dangleberries Posted October 29, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 29, 2021 I've been waiting for the crepe lady to come on her cart so I can buy something for the kids playing in the street. They range from 2 years old to about 5 years old and the crepe lady will do them a small drink and a small crepe each for 10 baht. I don't care if it ends up on the floor or if they feed it to the soi dogs (which is most often the case). The joy on their faces as they stand in line waiting for their chance to choose what they want is satisfaction enough for me. 6 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butch Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Are there microbes in the system? - some kind of mould spores or something getting in a multiplying where it shouldn't be?. That's pretty gross, reminds me of @Nightcrawler 's underpants after they got washed for the first time. I've had black mould coming out of my mains feed cold taps for years, the Water company seems to think it's between the house and their feed, I beg to differ. Bloody pain in the bum. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a build up of sludge in the bottom of the tank, not sure why it builds up like that, but am pretty sure it's the route cause of my blockages. I have been running a special chemical through my system for the past month and it has lifted that crap off the tank wallls so that we could clean it out. Unfortunately it hasn't unblocked 2 feed pipes. Now back to old school, rip the floor up and chop out the offending pipes, assuming we can get access to them.

Next hangover LOS in December all being well 🍻🍻 Great to be back at live gigs again ain't it mate. Really enjoyed Level 42 a few weeks back. That was my first one in 2 years, since I was at the HRH Rock weekend at Yarmouth. Got 3 gigs in 10 days end of the month. Hope you get out to Thailand mate. 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
