Hmmm, not many posts from me.

You have plenty of posts, they're all just buried deep in the earth.

I almost commented after your last post saying I hoped you wore a respirator for all that insulation work. RIP your lungs. Hope it clears up soon.

Now time to run some wires. So. obviously need an electrician to sign all this off, but I'm not paying some dudes money just to push some little wires down some holes. How hard can that be? So I'm running everything in singles like I did in france because I think its better. So I'll figure everything out, run it all then call in the electrician I spoke to... 3 years ago and assume he's still cool to sign all this off. Like I've googled a lot and done some calculations and I will provide documentation for everything.

So I'm not doing the typical UK rings, I'm doing radials. Youtube said they are better because rings only exist because of wwII. But actually having looked at radials, they arent even really radials so I'm inventing my own radials.

Amazing.

I think the wrong plasterer has already come and gone. Or maybe that was at JB's place.

You gently caress the charging port

Also don't forget that a company made a dick sucking toy to be used with your Tesla and autopilot.

But it's 99, I don't think he'd want to risk the Chinese ebay version

He'll find a used one and then immediately blow out the motor.

Also, and I know theres going to be pushback here, but I'm 90% sure, waiting for confirmation, I've bought heat pump and water cylinder and all the gubbins on ebay. £1400. The tank alone is worth almost that, the heat pump 4k.

Sanded the nut thing a bit to make it thinner which actually made it look a bit like poo poo so might not bother with that, and cut the lugs of the PIR to allow it to squeeze nicely into the nut and voila

Why not sand the side that won't be visible once it's screwed on?

It's the electricity meter, British Gas handles gas and electric.

Take it all off again and dig back to expose more pipe.

Although it was still a long time stood bent over in my muddy hole trying to line up all the nuts.

which means sticking my head back down the manholes in either direction and bunging off the appropriate pipe.

They ran it on poles instead of burying it?

Yeah, I live about 30 miles from Leperflesh and have Sonic fiber internet (with the cables operated by AT&T). This is what it looks like:




The electric is run the same way, not just the fiber.

I just have a little EdgeRouterX but I only have three access points, not data to every lightbulb. The UniFi back end was a bit fiddly to get set up as a non-IT person but I have no complaints since.
