Morning All. :D Kids go back to their parent today. :) Sunny & bright here. :) Have a lovely day. :D

Morning All. :D Monsters are still asleep. :) Got the paper. It has gone much cooler and is overcast. :( Have a great day! :D

Morning All. :D Having a little trouble focusing my eyes this morning, blurry edges to the screen text. :( Off to the sons place in a mo to feed his cats. Have a good day. :D

Wimmins have to wear diaphragms to protect themselves from serious pressure releases I was told.

Should take the soap scum off the shower enclosure and the skin off the bather quite nicely I reckon. ;-)

Can't you drill your own well, or is it not-allowed/not a suitable site for one?

That's what I have been saying for 35 years. But, it is going to go at some point and it is hellishly expensive to run and <78% efficient.

Morning All. :D I have signed my life away on a new gas boiler (before they ban them) for >£5k. Interestingly (or not, take your pick) my current Potterton 80e (24Kw) has run and still fine because it is only ever run at 50% of max. This has helped it last 35 years already. :) The new "Combi"...

Don't get that logic, if tappets are too tight or not properly gapped then the valves can never fully seat closed and I would expect a loss of compression, but number one is the highest of the lot. ;)

Well, that's interesting. Allegedly a 1275 "Metro" engine. I did the compression test (3-squirts of oil in the cylinder and spinning over) then move on and do the next one. Cyl 1 = 210 Cyl 2 = 180 Cyl 3 = 165 (first go) 175 on extended cranking. Cyl 4 = 180 As it is a 1275 "Bitsa" I am not sure...

I always mop up what I can with loo paper and/or kitchen towel, then break out the Vax "Spotwash" machine and it does a pretty good job TBH.

.... I was press-ganged into setting up "Camp Clarke" for the kids to play together this afternoon. Grumpy Grandads are us. ;)

Morning All. :D Phew another warm and humid start to the day. :) Wife's gone mad, invited more G-kids over. :( Have a good day! :D

...that I feel wholly vindicated on several fronts. "We" (wife & I) have come in for criticism on how we have approached the obtaining of probate on the late MIL's estate. The criticism comes from other "executors" named in the old gals will who while not taking an active part in the process are...
